CS 440 - Computer Graphics for Film Production This interdisciplinary course will bring together students and concepts from computer science, architecture, media studies, music, and the visual and performing arts. Working in small teams that span these disciplines, and using state-of-the-art production software, students will propose, storyboard, film, animate, and edit short video segments incorporating three-dimensional computer generated visual effects. The course will culminate in a public presentation of student videos. Spring 2004 CS 446 - Real-Time Rendering This course examines real-time rendering of high-quality interactive graphics. Applications such as video games, simulators, and virtual reality have recently become capable of near cinematic-quality visuals at real-time rates. Students study the advances in graphics hardware and algorithms that are making this possible, including non-photorealistic rendering, occlusion culling, level of detail, terrain rendering, shadow generation, image-based rendering, and physical simulation. As part of a semester-long team project, students build a 3D video game with individual assignments that showcase the various real-time rendering techniques employed by a modern game engine.

DETAILS COLUMNS CONTRIBUTIONS ARCHIVE REAL-TIME INTERACTIVE GRAPHICS Vol.33 No.4 November 1999 ACM SIGGRAPH Real-time Interactive Storytelling Scott S.Fisher Telepresence Research Inc. Glen Fraser SOFTIMAGE Inc. November 99 Columns Real-Time Interactive Graphics During a recent vacation in Vancouver, I was randomly selected off the street by a TV crew, and asked (presumably as a member of the general public) a series of questions related to computing for an upcoming show. After talking about the Internet, peripherals and so on, I was posed the final question - "what do you think computers will be able to do in five years?" I was somewhat surprised that the first thing that came into my head was neither real-time ray-tracing nor one billion polygons per second but rather, "I really hope that computers will become better tools for storytelling." By profession, I am a software developer, and have worked on various creative and visual computing tools that can relate to storytelling - tools such as virtual reality, motion capture, virtual sets, real-time viewing and high-level animation. By hobby, I enjoy a number of creative pursuits. I dabble in computer animation and music. But my favorite and most satisfying creative pastime is writing - poems and stories. I find it a challenge to come up with good stories, and the process of writing brings me a lot of pleasure. I’m no longer a big computer game fanatic, but in my teens I would hang around arcades, pouring my hard earned paper-route or busboy money into the games. I remember my excitement when Dragon’s Lair first came out, and how awe-struck I was at its hand-drawn cel animation and new style of gameplay. Compared to most games (then as well as now), it greatly limits the player’s options for interaction - in fact, the player actually had no control over the path taken through the game - but these constraints allowed it to use a much more compelling "look" to tell its story. Fortunately for my wallet, I probably enjoyed watching others play more than I enjoyed playing myself. Many of us wanted to see the whole story, how it would "end up" - and if we weren’t good enough (or rich enough) to save the princess with our own hands, we could at least choose to stand on our tip-toes and watch over the bigger guys’ shoulders.

The capabilities of graphics hardware have been growing to a point where the creation of real-time interactive computer graphics is possible at a quality that was formerly limited to off-line movie production. Instead of spending minutes or hours to produce just one image, we can now generate appealing 3D scenes at rates of 30 to 60 a second and more. Prerequisite: You do not have to have taken CS180 before . However, prior experience in computer graphics is expected. We will provide some background information in class, but you are expected to catch up with the necessary CG techniques proactively . The following textbooks will help you get up to speed. Texts We highly recommend the following two books as your companions for this class. The first one is necessary, because you will learn how to program in a new language, Cg or HLSL, which is a special-purpose data-flow-oriented language that allows you to specify small programs that actually execute within the GPU of your computer:

Real-time animation and manipulation of 3D-objects in stereo by interactive computer graphics prepared by Christian Henn Introduction Modern graphics computers are powerful tools assisting the scientist in understanding complex three-dimensional (3-D) scenarios such as the atomic structure of a protein molecule, or a pelvis fracture as obtained by computer tomography (CT). Nowadays, graphics computers achieve such a high processing speed that it has become routine to manipulate even the most complex 3-D objects interactively, and to animate their dynamic properties in real-time. Principle Molecular modeling [Lipkowitz, 1990] is a general term involving interactive computer graphics and computational methods to construct, manipulate and analyze the structure and function of molecules. Recent advances in the development of graphics workstations have provided the scientist with virtual reality, i.e., highly complex molecular structures can be visualized and animated in real-time, providing accurate stereo impression employing state-of-the-art display technology [Akeley, 1993]. Standard molecular modeling applications include a variety of tasks, ranging from rational design of novel organic compounds to understanding the assembly of biological macromolecules. Inherent to the visualization of these problems is the representation of a 3-D molecular system. At high resolution, as obtained by X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), or theoretical simulations, this task requires a structural description of the molecule in terms of its atomic coordinates. Atoms are often displayed as solid-renderd spheres, whereas covalent bonds are shown as sticks joining two atoms. Other properties of the molecule, e.g., its hydrophobic or electrostatic potential, which govern most of the intra- and intermolecular interactions, can best be displayed on a solvent-accessible surface generated from its atomic coordinates.

Real-time-graphics on a PC Cescg '97 Seminar Paper by Erik Pojar Introduction Data structures Tree structure ... Conclusion Abstract : In the field of real-time graphics, there's always need for higher performance. A very common approach to get higher frame rates, is to simply buy a more powerful machine. In this paper we want to show a different way: There are many tricks and methods on the implementation side, one can use to speed up graphics output, which, quite often, are very simple to code, while still very powerful. In this paper we will discuss some of the these techniques we used for our PC-based real-time rendering library. First we talk about the 'scene tree', which describes the scene and gives us opportunity to minimize matrix multiplications, then we talk about minimal state switches, and finally, there's a chapter about face culling and object culling (using bounding boxes). 1. Introduction We are currently working on a graphics library with the following features: fast (real-time) easy to use, but still powerful, giving you full control of the machine multi-platform implementation (PC / SGI / )

Have You Seen These Pages? AboutMSR Downloads Current Research home ... microsoft.com Real-time Fuzz by Suzanne Ross Do you remember the old nursery rhyme about Fuzzy Wuzzy, the bear who had no hair? This alliterative tongue-twister that continues to delight grade school children and crazed poets expresses just what's missing from computer graphics today. Fuzz. That's because, until recently, rendering realistic fuzzy objects took way too longfrom minutes a frame using line drawing to hours a frame with ray tracing. And hair isn't the only type of fuzz missing, the world of grass, leaves, fabric, and fur has also been ignored. Fortunately the gaming world won't have to view bald creatures much longer, because Jed Lengyel , a researcher at Microsoft, has developed techniques that, combined with the powerful hardware behind Xbox , Microsoft's new gaming console, make rendering realistic real-time fuzz a snap. Favorite Fuzzies Lengyel is an advocate for fuzziness. He likes to start conversations and technical papers with the line, "Make a list of your favorite things, and you will find that many of them are fuzzy." He morphs from a scientist into a poet when he talks about his own favorite fuzzy things. "My wife, my children, my mother, father, sisters, brothers, cousins, my dog, my cat, a fuzzy chick, a furry rabbit, a soft towel after a bath, a favorite shirt, an old couch, nice warm socks, a field of flowers, a forest, grass blowing in the wind, dandelion seeds waiting to fly..."
