–50% portfolio
–30% lecture
–20% exam
Lecture Information
The lecture should be 1 hour in length and be appropriate for
a 3rd or 4th year course in graphics. The lecture should not
overlap substantially with the regular lectures or textbook,
and students should not select similar topics.
Some possible topics
include:
–Camera lens effects
–Fluids (may be too difficult for a lecture)
–Non-photorealistic rendering
–Particle systems
–Radiosity
–Ray tracing (beyond basic ray tracing)
–Rendering hair
–Rendering shadows
–Rendering water
–Tesselation shaders
–Volume rendering
You are welcome to choose a different topic but you should check
with me that it is appropriate.

here.
Deliverables:
1. a 1-hour in-class lecture to be held in Weeks 9-12
2. editable lecture slides
3. source code (if appropriate)
Grading
Grading is based on the clarity of the presentation and the depth
of understanding of the material. Independent implementation of
algorithms can demonstrate thorough understanding of the material,
but may be too difficult for some topics.
