The final exam is cumulative. It will cover topics from the entire course, including the last two weeks.

This is a rough outline - no promises that it includes everything (any ommission of a topic is not intentional).

Exam 2 will cover the class topics from the second 6 weeks of class, beginning with 3D up through Shaders and the interactive rendering things discussed on April 22nd.

Writing efficient graphics programs is an art - and one that we will barely touch on in class. To make things that are really complicated but still run well requires knowing some tricks.

This page has some notes on some of the basic concepts for achieving good performance. It is written in terms of THREE, but most of the “rules” apply generally. Learning this stuff is valuable because it is helpful for understanding how things work.

For the last week of March (first week of April), our lectures will be asynchronous: we will provide pre-recorded videos on Kaltura. Here is an index and explanation.

Exam 1 will cover the class topics from the first 6 weeks of class, up to and including Curves (but not 3D).

The exam covers the topics in the first 11 lectures, the first 6 workbooks (including the Train workbook), and the readings required by the workbooks. The bonus videos are also fair game, but I will not ask questions about GIT on the Exam. (Closures, almost certainly, and the Curves review video is a review of things in the other resources).

Announcements will be made via Canvas. If something new is posted here on the Course Web, it will be announced on Canvas as well.

The course web has a lot to read. Here is a suggestion as to where to start (and a recommended order you could look at them).

The class is full. There are many people on the waiting list. You might be wondering what is going on…
