News

  • Students are required to register on this mailing list for the lecture.

  • First lecture on Thursday, October 16th, H20.

Criteria

  • Weekly exercises (necessary for admission to final exam)
    • for the admission to the final exam you need to have
      1. an average of at least 50% of the points of all exercises.
      2. at least 30% of the points in each weakly exercise.
    • exercises must be presented in exercise meetings
    • groups of maximally 2 students are allowed
  • Rendering-Competition (additional points to final grade)
    • animation sequence rendered with your own raytracer
    • workgroups of up to 2 people permitted (of course, an implementation done by two people is expected to be much more sophisticated than the implementation done by one person alone)
    • Judgement of the results will be based on
      • complexity of modelling
      • complexity of shading
      • technical merit (expected effort/sophistication of the implementation)
      • esthetics of the picture
    • More information about the Rendering Competition will be available soon.
  • Written exam
