if you are already in a FIT course, you can complete the Computer Graphics submajor
Computer Graphics (SMJ02039)
Some of our best computer graphics students have had very successful
careers in the special effects industry. In the last few years four
students have received credits for their work on Academy Award winning
films, including The Matrix. Our students have also worked on Babe II,
The Thin Red Line, Moulin Rouge, Walking with Dinosaurs, Walking with
Beasts, Ice Age and Matrix Reloaded movie. One of our students now
works in the R&D division of George Lucas' company Industrial Light
and Magic in San Francisco.
The subjects in the sub-major provide the theoretical and practical
knowledge that is required to understand and build modern 3D computer
graphics applications. This knowledge is applied to building a ray
tracer, producing a 3D computer animation, and carrying out a computer
graphics project. The project can be on any area of graphics, and a
popular topic recently has been to build a real-time renderer using
OpenGL. The subjects are as follows.
