This consists of:-
An assignment weighted at 70% which will assess learning outcomes 1 and 2.
An test of 1 hour duration weighted at 30% which will assess learning outcomes 3 and 4.

Fundamental C++ programming constructs. Functions and prototypes, pointers, dynamic memory allocation, arrays and structures classes and objects, file I/O. Data structures for 3D graphics applications: linked lists, trees and scene graphs. Camera/model paradigm of 3D graphics. Model transformations and grpahics pipeline implementation. Lighting and texturing. Animation, physics and user interaction using keyboard and mouse.

Two 1 hour lectures per week.
Two hours of tutorial/practical per week.
Practicals will implement theory given in lecture material using chosen implementation framework.
Students will be expected to study underpinning principles and develop an awareness of issues relating to the programmingl principles involved contextualised in the graphics framework.
