ECTS credits: 4
Description:
The classes aim to introduce the graphics generated in real-time to the students using GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). For this aim, the students will use libraries such as OpenGL and Vulkan, and the GLSL programming language. They will also become acquainted with the basic mathematical and physical notions and algorithms that generate various effects, e.g., realistic lighting, environment mapping, bump mapping. During the course, the students will prepare projects in teams of maximum two and present their work results in front of the group.
