Lecture 01 Overview of Computer Graphics

Menu of this lecture

• Concepts of raterization, ray tracing etc.

Basic Concepts

Rasterization

1. Project geometry primitives (3D triangles / polygons) onto the screen.
2. Break projected primitives into fragments (pixels)
3. Real-time applications is the gold standard in Video Games

translation

1. 将几何形状（3D 三角形/多边形）投影到屏幕上
2. 将投影后的图元划分为片段（像素）
3. 在视频游戏中，实时应用是黄金标准

Curves and Meshes

Ray Tracing

Shoot rays from camera through each pixel Offline application is the gold standard in Animation / Movies

Animation / Simulation
