ECTS credits: 4
Description:
Aim of the classes is to introduce to the students the graphics generated in real-time with the use of GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). For this aim the libraries such as OpenGL and Vulkan, and the GLSL programming language will be used. The students will become acquainted with the basic mathematical and physical notions, and algorithms, which will allow to 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 results of their work in the form of presentation in front of the group.
