Institution:

Rochester Institute of Technology

Subject:

Description:

This course takes a look at computer animation from a programmer's perspective. It will investigate the theory, algorithms and techniques for describing and programming motion for virtual 3D worlds. Approaches that will be explored include keyframing systems; kinematics, motion of articulated fi gures, procedural and behavioral systems, and the use of motion capture data. This course is a programming-oriented course with major deliverables including the implementation of techniques presented in lecture as well as a fi nal project concentrating on an area of a student's choice. Students enrolling in this course are expected to have profi ciency in the use of at least one 3D API (e.g. OpenGL, DirectX, Java3D).
