With the exception of Spike's office hours which will be held in his office (CIT 365), ta hours will be held in the fishbowl, CIT 271.
Now that everyone has joined the Google group, all posts and announcements will be made through the group, rather than on the webpage.
Render homework is out and available on the assignments page - it's out a little early, so we don't expect for you to start it yet (Spike will talk about what you need to know during class).
Please fill out the section survey found here. This form is mandatory!
TA hours will begin this Saturday. psastras will temporarily move hours this week to Sunday 6:00-8:00pm.
The ray project is out. Hopefully this should be mostly review - the purpose of this project is to get you familiarized with the support code. You can grab it here or on the assignments page.
The math homework has been posted. You can grab it here or on the assignments page.
You should read and sign the collaboration policy and return it to us as soon as possible. We will not grade your handins until you have returned a signed collaboration policy to us. The collaboration policy can be found here or on the docs page.
Class will be held in CIT 345.
The CS224 Google calendar can be found here or on the docs or assignment pages. If you notice any inconsistencies between the Google calendar and any announced project dates, please notify the TAs.
We will be using Google Groups for course-related news and questions. Please sign up for it here.
CS224 is a graduate course in computer graphics. Many students take it as the second half of a two-course sequence started by CS123. CS123 and CS32 are prerequisites (for undergraduates; for graduate students, the prerequisites are equivalent courses at their undergraduate institutions). The course will move quickly and cover many topics and will have a strong emphasis on student initiative. The class will focus on a significant final project.
The primary goal of the course is to expose students to a wide range of subjects in computer graphics, taking a sophisticated approach to each one. A secondary goal is to give students in-depth experience with some area through the final project. We also aim to exercise students' software-design skill, and teach them new tools (software, numerical methods), but to have the majority of the time spent in the course be related to learning computer graphics, and not to doing work that's only incidental.
Please make sure to read the course missive. It can also be found on the docs page. Make sure to pay special attention to the collaboration and late policies.
