Echtzeit-Computergrafik

What it is about

You will learn fundamental algorithms and techniques of real-time computer graphics as well as methods for simulating the motion dynamics of rigid bodies. In the end you will know the core components of game engines, understand the rasterization-based rendering pipeline and basic approaches to particle systems and collision detection and resolution.

What you will be able to do

• Understanding the components and the interaction of game engines
• Knowledge of the principles of the rasterization-based rendering pipeline
• Knowledge of lighting models, shading and texture mapping
• Basic knowledge of particle systems and simple motion simulation
• Understanding of fundamental methods for collision detection and resolution
• Application and domain-specific extension of learned concepts

What the module consists of

• LectureExplanation of the content, references to literature and demonstrations (blackboard/computer) for deeper understanding

Teaching method

• LectureThe lecturer explains the content, points to relevant literature and demonstrates examples for in-depth understanding
