Introduction
Requirements:
You should have read TDA361 or similar.
In this course we dive deeper into things we only touched upon in that course.
Schedule
All classes are at 15:15 on Tuesdays.
Next class is in ES53, the next two in ES52, the rest are here in EL43
See TimeEdit if you forget.

Lectures
Week 1-5 I will give lectures where we dive deep into fundamental Computer Graphics subjects.
Week 1 (today): Advanced Shading
Week 2: Light Transport
Week 3: GPU Architecture
Week 4: Advanced Real-Time techniques
Week 5: (guest lecturers)
Lectures will be on (sometimes very) complicated subjects.
Ask lots of questions!
Let me know when you loose track!
Advanced Computer Graphics, Erik Sintorn

5. Student Presentations
Each of you will give a presentation on a subject of your choice.
Choose your slot early!
Choose your subject before week 4.
Present a technique described in a paper/article
Good conferences to look at: I3D, EGSR, HPG Papers usually available from:
Other articles (from interweb/books) also fine if they are clear and complete (no youtube tutorials ).
Choose something and check with me.
Ask if anyone is willing to step up and choose the first slots today.
Suggested conferences are good because usually a bit easier to get into that SIGGRAPH etc.
Need to check with me that it’s not to little and not too much.

6. Student Presentations
Presentations are 15 minutes + 30 minutes discussion.
You may work in pairs and do 30 minute presentation.
~ 2 presentations per lecture.
Do aim for 15 minutes
But if it turns out to be 14 or 18 that’s okay.
An often reasonable rule of thumb is 1 minute per slide.
Everyone will read the article before the seminar, and hand in a question to me before we start.
If working in pairs, both students have to talk ~15 minutes

7. Student Presentations
Presentation outline:
Describe the problem that is being solved
First broadly
Then the specific problem
Describe how it is solved in the article
Start with overview
Then interesting details
Show most important results
The goal is that your fellow students shall understand the problem and solution (whether or not they understood the paper)
If working in pairs, both students have to talk ~15 minutes

Project
You will also do a project, to be handed in at the end of the course.
E.g., A small game, A raytracer, Real time indirect illumination of some kind, Sorting with CUDA…
Check with me before you start.
Homepage contains some suggestions of things you can do, and grading guidelines.
The “points” on the homepage are not gospel, ask me if you want to be more certain about grade.
You are encouraged to work in groups of N people.
So you can create even cooler things.
But points required for a grade scales linearly with N.
You will report who did what for grading.
Lab code from TDA361 is a good starting point.
Ask them if everyone has access to the lab code.
