This past week, we learned about lighting and texturing. And you got to try out WebGL programming.
Next week, we’ll dive deeper into lighting and texturing to look at some of the more practical aspects of actually writing the code to do it. You’ll start to work on project 2 (with programming assignment 7). And be aware that the exam is lurking on the horizon.
So this week:
Monday, October 19th: Reading Assignment 7 is due. It discusses lighting and texturing – which we have already introduced in class. So the quiz should be a review. (yes, we’re having a quiz again – it’s good practice for the exam).
Tuesday, October 20th: Lecture on practical issues in Texturing. We’ll see how GL does textures. And hopefully work around some of the web security issues in working with images.
Thursday, October 22nd: Pre-lecture help session. The one last week seemed to work out well, so we’ll try again. Details will be posted soon.
Thursday, October 22nd: Lecture on advanced texturing. And possibly more on getting triangles to the graphics hardware efficiently.
Thursday, October 22nd: Programming Assignment 7 (the first phase of Project 2) is due. Make sure you understand the new handin mechanism. You might want to try it out before the last minute.
The following week…
There will be a Quiz on Monday October 26th. It will be good practice for the exam.
There will be a lecture on Tuesday morning, October 27th, and an evening exam. On thursday, programming assignment 8 will be due (another phase of project 2).
