CMPUT 307 - 3D Modeling and Animation

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-3)

An introductory course on the theory and applications of computer based 3D modeling and animation. The course will cover a selection of topics from overview of tools supporting modeling and animation, automatically generating 3D models, and animation of skeleton based models through algorithms and software. Applications of 3D modeling and animation in games, virtual/augmented environments, movies, and emerging video transmission algorithms will be discussed. Prerequisites: CMPUT 206, or CMPUT 204 and one of MATH 225 or 227.

CMPUT 414 - Introduction to Multimedia Technology

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-3)

Introduction to basic principles and algorithms used in multimedia systems. Students obtain hands-on experience in issues relating to multimedia data representation, compression, processing, and animation. Topics will be selected from image and video coding and transmission, animation, human perceptual issues associated to multimedia technologies. Prerequisites: one of CMPUT 307, 328, or 411.
