Slides: [ slides ] [ slides with annotations ] Exercises: Tutorial 4 (Perspective projection and hidden surface elimination) [ exercises ] Recommended reading: This lecture basically completes some "loose ends" about Ray Tracing that haven't been covered in the lecture so far, in particular: Ray/triangle intersection (book, section 2.11 and 10.3.2), refraction (book, section 10.7), instancing (book, section 10.8), constructive solid geometry (book, section 10.10), faster ray tracing (book, section 10.9). For octrees, please refer to the lecture notes since they are not covered in the textbook.

Rasterization and shading: part 2 [MOV, 37MB]

Rasterization and shading: part 1 [MOV, 50MB]

Slides: [ slides ] [ slides with annotations ] Recommended reading: In the lecture, we addressed only polygone and triangle rasterization and used a different approach than covered in the book. Nevertheless, it doesn't hurt to browse chapter 3.5 (line drawing) and 3.6 (triangle rasterization). The latter one also contains a little bit of information about Gouraud shading. Linear interpolation is covered in chapter 2.10, diffuse shading and phong shading are discussed in chapter 9.1 and 9.2, respectively. Again, we discussed a different approach not covered in the book (cf. lecture notes).

Hidden surface elimination: part 2 [MOV, 38MB]

Hidden surface elimination: part 1 [MOV, 82MB]

Slides: [ slides ] [ slides with annotations ] Recommended reading: This lecture is covered by Chapter 8 (Hidden Surface Elimination) in the textbook. For backface culling, please refer to the lecture notes since it is only marginally covered in the book (in chapter 12.4, page 265).

Slides: [ slides ] [ slides with annotations ] Exercises: Tutorial 3 (Matrices and transformations) [ exercises ] Recommended reading: Chapter 6 (Transformation matrices) from the book. Section 6.1.6 may be skipped. Information on how to construct a basis from a single vector can be found in section 2.4.6, which I assume all of you already read after the 2nd lecture :)
