software tools: this is not a course about modern computer graphics programming and software development. A bit of history To appreciate the above point, it may be helpful to consider a few key developments of the past 20 years in computer graphics: Up to the early 1990’s, it was relatively cumbersome to write graphics software. The standards
Programming –ability to read, write, and debug small Java programs (10s of. understanding of very basic data structures. no serious software design required. Mathematics. vector geometry (dot/cross products, etc.) linear algebra (just basic matrices in 2-4D) basic calculus (simple derivatives)
2. Computer Art Computer graphics are widely used in both fine and commercial art applications. Artists use a variety of computer methods, including special-purpose hardware, paintbrush programs, mathematical packages, animation packages, etc. that provide facilities for designing object shapes and specifying object motions.
