    Teaching and Advisory Activities
    Teaching
    Area         		Visualization, Computer Graphics, Shape Modeling, 3D Computer Animation, Digital Compositing & Image Based Rendering, Image Synthesis, Rendering & Shading; and Visual Storytelling.
    Courses Annually Taught Couses

    • VIZA 654 / CSCE 646 - Digital Image.
      This course provide a thorough grounding in the state of the art in the treatment of digital images, particularly within the context of computer graphics, and digital effects. It is designed to prepare students to understand existing systems for storage, display, transformation and manipulation of digital images write their own software for working with digital images undertake creative work and research involving digital images. The course is crosslisted with Computer Science and Engineering.
    • VIZA 656 / CSCE 647 - Image Synthesis.
      The course covers rendering techniques that include the algorithms that simulate various properties of light propagation such as ray tracing, volume rendering, backward ray tracing, radiosity and photon mapping. The course also covers practical applications of mathematical concepts such as vector, matrix and quaternion algebra, and projective geometry. In a step by step fashion, the students develop a ray tracer and extend it to either a backward ray tracer, volume renderer or photon mapping system. The course is crosslisted with Computer Science and Engineering.
    Bi-Annually Taught Couses

    • VIZA 616 - Rendering & Shading.
      The course covers exploration of advanced rendering and shading techniques for the attainment of a desired visual effect; topics may include shading languages, attainment of visual realism, integration of rendering and modeling tools, and non-photorealistic rendering.
    • VIZA 657 / VIZA 648 - Computer Aided Sculpting.
      This is a shape modeling course that teaches parametric representations, subdivision schemes, implicit representations, free-form deformations and topology. Parametric representations includes topics such as Bezier surfaces, B-Splines, Beta-splines, NURBS, Kochaheck-Bartels, Interpolation Splines, parametric and geometric continuity. Implicit representations covers subjects such as Ricci and Rvachev operations, Blobs and Metaballs, Superquadrics, Hyperquadrics and Ray-Quadrics, and Blinn's exponentials. Subdivision schemes includes topics such as Catmull-Clark, Doo-Sabin, Non-uniform rational subdivision surfaces, Loop scheme and eigenvalue analysis. The course is crosslisted with Computer Science and Engineering.
    • VIZA 641 - Visual Storytelling.
      This course is an exploration of visual storytelling techniques for the attainment of desired storytelling effects; includes character development, using shots, camera, lights, props and background elements, master plots, one and multi-panel cartoons, comics, storyboards, animatics and story-reels. The content of this course is partly covered in an earlier Viza 617 - Advanced Animation course.
    • VIZA 665 - Digital Compositing.
      This course basically came out of VIZA 665 - Computer Animation course, to clearly focus digital compositing techniques. The course covers practical techniques for recovering information from real images such as position and orientation of the camera, camera parameters, orientations and positions of real objects and lights, surface properties of the objects and properties of lights. These techniques are based on current research in Image Based Rendering and 3D photography.
    Previously Taught Courses

    • VIZA 613 - 3D Modeling and Animation.
      This course covers animation principles such as anticipation and follow through, timing, squash and stretch, staging and weight with a series of homeworks and projects. The homeworks and projects are short animations mostly created by using 3D modeling and animation software. Each homework is specifically designed to teach at least one animation principle. The course also covers 3D shape modeling concepts such as polygonal modeling, NURBS, patch modeling and subdivision surfaces with another series of weekly assignments.
    • VIZA 615 - Computer Animation.
      This is a technical directing course that teaches practical techniques for recovering information from real images such as position and orientation of the camera, camera parameters, orientations and positions of real objects and lights, surface properties of the objects and properties of lights. These techniques are based on current research in Image Based Rendering and 3D photography. The course also covers storytelling. By using some of these techniques, students integrate CG elements into their video shots. Students develop their project with weekly homeworks starting from a story idea. Each week they improve the story step by step by developing rough and final storyboards, concept sketches, animatics and video editing.
