To present details of advanced computer graphics rendering, visualization and techniques used to create high quality 3D computer graphics applications. To allow students to improve their development skills and make consideration of alternative designs, especially using sketching and low-fidelity techniques, in the context of computer graphics and visualisation. And to enable students consider the future of computer graphics.
Cynnwys cwrs
