Course objectives
Computer graphics often requires complex software setup on the CPU side in order to get GPU programs running. This task is often challenging for most novice users, and may therefore dampen the learning process. Additionally, there exist professional software solutions which are specifically designed to enable quick prototyping of computer graphics programs, such as game engines. The goal of this course is to learn how to use a popular game engine to implement advanced computer graphics techniques. We will showcase the use of the game engine through various examples, such as real-time volume rendering and molecular rendering. We will also explore the use of GPGPU programming to leverage non-graphical purpose algorithms with GPU computing.
