Full graphics pipeline: part 2 [MOV, 60MB]

Full graphics pipeline: part 1 [MOV, 51MB]

Slides: [ slides ] [ slides with annotations ] Recommended reading: Chapter 12 in the textbook. The Sutherland-Hodgman and the Weiler-Atherton algorithm are not covered in the book, but the lecture notes should be sufficient to understand them.

Radiosity: part 1 of lecture 11 [MOV, 58MB]

Slides: [ slides ] [ slides with annotations ] Exercises: Tutorial 5 (Triangle rasterization and ray tracing) [ exercises ] Recommended reading: Radiosity is hardly covered in the textbook, but the lecture notes and the tutorial that I mentioned at the beginning should be enough to understand the basic concepts. In addition, you can browse the Education Slide Set provided on the SIGGRAPH server. The same goes for Shadows, i.e. they are hardly covered in the textbook (although you find some information on shadow maps and soft shadows in chapter 11.8 and 10.11.2, respectively). The stencil buffer tutorial is recommended background reading (but try to focus on principles, and not on details/code, and don't worry if you don't understand it completely. Browse, don't memorize, the 50 pages). It also covers fake shadows in section 4 and 5 and contains little info on soft shadows in section 6.4.

Texture mapping: part 2 [MOV, 67MB]

Texture mapping: part 1 [MOV, 54MB]

Slides: [ slides ] [ slides with annotations ] Recommended reading: This lecture is covered by chapter 11 of the book. The tutorial on "Teaching Texture Mapping Visually" (PDF, HTML) by Rosalee Wolfe from DePaul University contains some nice illustrations of different approaches. Not all of this is covered in the lecture, but the images might help understanding some of the techniques we discussed.
