After successful completion of the course, students are able to understand advanced concepts of realtime rendering as used in virtual reality applications or in computer games. Topics include: Graphics Hardware (GPU) Architecture Optimization Advanced Lighting and Shading Shading Languages Graphics Programming (OpenGL 4.x Core Profile, Vulkan) Real-time Shadows Culling and Visibility Levels of Detail and Terrain Rendering Image-based Rendering
Important topics in real-time rendering are treated und exercised with practical examples. Some topics are: special effects like shadows, illumination effects, bump mapping, displacement mapping, as well as the rendering pipeline and architecture of graphics hardware, interfaces to programming of 3D graphics hardware, and advanced algorithms like terrain rendering, visibility calculation, etc.
Presentation of theoretical concepts with slides, programming tasks.
