Competencies
After taking the course the student should have an overview of the modeling of three-dimensional objects using the polygonal model, volumetric images and ray-marching, using programmable GPUs. Be able to design and perform three-dimensional visualizations and graphic interfaces
Use a programming environment and implement the most important techniques and algorithms used in the visualization of three-dimensional objects.
In the interactive classes students will carry out a set of practices proposed by the teacher and a personal work or final project. In these classes the competences CB6, CB7 y CB8 will be developed. In the same way these classes will work on the competences CG1, CG2, CG5, CG7. The skils CE1, CE2, CE5, CE8 will be solved in the personal approach of the project.
Teaching methodology
In a general way
In the interactive classes the theoretical concepts of the different topics will be explained accompanied by examples, students will carry out a set of practices
For meetings, telematic teaching or any other form of non-presential teaching, the tool teams or the one that the university has as adequate will be used. The subject will have a virtual classroom in the cloud campus.
The subject will be taught in English.
Evaluation system
In a general way
1) Presentation of the proposed practices 50% practices not delivered or presented to the teacher is calculated as negative.
2) Final project proposed by the student 50%.
The presentation of the practices will be considered as continuous evaluation 50%.
It is considered not presented when the student does not deliver his practices.
In second opportunities the evaluation method will be the same.
The practices and projects will be delivered by the appropriate telematic means.
In the case of fraudulent exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for the Evaluation of Students’ Academic Performance and the Revision of Grades will be applied.
Studying time and personal work
45h approximately, divided between theoretical study, practical work and project.
Recommendations for the study of the subject
Subject study recommendations
Knowledge of programming in C, C++ language.
Observations
The classes will be given in English.
In the case of fraudulent exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for the Evaluation of Students’ Academic Performance and the Revision of Grades will be applied.
