Handbook

Demonstrate the mathematical foundations for modelling 2D and 3D primitives such as points, lines, polygons and polyhedral, and explain how these primitives can be transformed using affine transformations;

Compose and apply basic graphics transformations using homogeneous coordinates;

Explain how a 2D view of a 3D scene can be produced using hidden surface elimination algorithms and parallel and perspective projections;

Describe techniques for producing realistic depictions of scenes using techniques like textures and texture mapping, shadows and BRDF shading models such as Lambert, Phong, Blinns Phong, Torrance-Sparrow-Blinn-Cook-Beckmann, Oren-Nayar, radiosity and ray-tracing;

Decompose the problem of producing graphics output into modelling and rendering components and apply this decomposition to produce well-structured graphics programs;

Write simple programs using graphics software based on standards like OpenGL for producing 2D and 3D scenes.
