Hardware
Computer Graphics
Computer Graphics is ubiquitous:
 Visual system is most important sense:

 High bandwidth
 Natural communication
 Fast developments in
 Hardware
 Software
What is Computer Graphics?

 Creation, Manipulation, and Storage of


geometric objects (modeling) and their
images (rendering)
 Display those images on screens or
hardcopy devices
 Image processing
 Others: GUI, Haptics, Displays (VR)...
What drives computer graphics?
 Movie Industry
 Leaders in quality and artistry
 Not slaves to conceptual purity
 Big budgets and tight schedules
 Reminder that there is more to
CG than technology

What is Computer Graphics?

 5 areas
 Hardware
 Rendering
 Interaction
 Modeling
 Scientific Visualization
Hardware: Amazing Changes

 Fundamental architecture shift


 Dual computing engines:
 CPU and GPU
 More in GPU than CPU
Hardware: Amazing Changes

 Fast, cheap GPUs


 Cheap memory
 Displays at low cost
 How many monitors do you have/use?
Hardware: Amazing Changes

 Wired -> Unwired


 World of Access
Rendering

 Many think/thought graphics


synonymous with rendering
 Well researched
 Working on second and third order effects
 Fundamentals largely in place
Rendering

 Major areas:
 Ealiest: PhotoRealism
 Recent: Non-Photorealistic Graphics (NPR)
 Recent: Image-based Rendering (IBR)
Image Based Rendering

 Model light field


 Do not have to model geometry
 Good for complex 3D scenes
 Can leave holes where no data is
available
