Program Overview

Program Overview

The Vorlesung Computergrafik 1 (Computer Graphics 1) is a university program that covers the entire process of creating 3D models and rendering images. The program includes a lecture and exercise components, with a focus on the theoretical and practical aspects of computer graphics.

Program Details

• Lecture: The lecture component of the program covers the basics of 3D modeling, lighting, and rendering. It includes topics such as linear algebra, 3D modeling, and image synthesis.
• Exercise: The exercise component of the program provides students with hands-on experience in computer graphics. It includes practical exercises in 3D modeling, lighting, and rendering, as well as discussions on design aspects.

Program Structure

• Lecture Schedule: The lecture takes place on Thursdays from 14:00 to 16:00 in room HGB E004.
• Exercise Schedule: The exercises take place on various days and times, with different tutors leading each session.
