This includes a mathematical background (such as A level high school mathematics or similar). 

The visualization methods range from

• photorealistic rendering known from the film industry via Scientific Visualization to
  
• fast ad hoc methods that can be used in games and Virtual Reality Systems.
  

The modelling methods include the well-known methods from the CAD world and handling organic shapes as trees, plants, clouds, smokes, fire etc. and editing of inhomogeneous materials including medical data. 

• Analysing and using Graphics systems as OpenGL.
  
• Extended camera models.
  
• Photorealistic rendering: Raytracing, Radiosity, the Photon map method, hybrid methods.
  
• Accelerated rendering: Shadow algorithms, reflection mapping, Environmental mapping and multi-texture mapping.
  
• 3D-Graphics cards.
  
• Input devices and models.
  
• Functional based modelling: Trees, plants, skyes, smoke, fire, 2D and 3D textures.
  
• Solid modelling: Boudary models, Constructive Solid Geometry, Analytic Modelling (B-spline and Nurbs) and Voxel Modelling (Volume sculpting and Volume rendering). 

Lectures before noon and computer exercises in the after noon.

This is a course of exchange, that is offered by another University than ITU. Therefore, the course might run in another period of time, than courses at ITU.
