CG Lecture 15, Mon 2016-10-3

W Randolph Franklin, RPI

  1. More programs in <http://www.ecse.rpi.edu/~wrf/Teaching/graphics-f2016b/SEVENTH_EDITION/CODE/Code%20new/03/>.

  2. More iclicker questions.

  3. Textbook slides from week 5.

    1. Chap 5

  4. I accidentally made Homework 5 too hard. Question 5, the Star Trek program, is postponed until next week.

  5. Nice WebGL site: http://webglfundamentals.org/webgl/lessons/

  6. The big topic for Chapter 5 is homogeneous coordinates. They allow all the common transformations - translation, rotation, scaling, projection - to be expressed as a multiplication by a 4x4 matrix.

    My take on homogeneous coordinates.

  7. Reminder that, per the syllabus, the midterm exam will be Thurs Oct 13, with a review on Tues Oct 11.
