Description
Digital geometric models find nowadays numerous applications ranging from industrial CAD and terrain or scientific visualization to games and movie productions. This lecture covers all aspects of DGM from their aquisiton and representation to editing and processing. In detail it discusses the following topics: This lecture discusses advanced rendering techniques that aim at highly realistic images. Particular emphasis lies on high quality depictions of materials. In detail the topics of this lecture are: Rendering Digital geometric models Here you can find the lecture in Basis.

Starting the lecture
Please inscribe yourself to the mailinglist.
In this lecture you will have the chance to learn many interesting theoretical as well as practical topics. In case you have a problem understanding something, please always feel free to write to the mailing list. This should be a place where you students can talk freely about the lecture, so please do not hesitate to ask and reply! Of course, the tutors are also subscribed on the mailing list and will reply as well.
The book "Polygon Mesh Processing" mentioned bellow is also available for reading at our institute - though it may be more interesting for later topics. If you are curious, just ask.
Good start!
