Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities
Computer graphics involves mathematics. Whilst the course is intended to be introductory, at least VCE year 12 Mathematics (any) or equivalent is required.
You may only enrol in this course if it is explicitly listed in your enrolment program summary.
Before starting this course, you should complete the Lab and Unix Induction program. For more information, go to the following link: www.rmit.edu.au/compsci/orientation
Course Description
This course, Web3D and Graphics Technologies, introduces fundamentals of 3D computer graphics and graphics programming using 3D web technologies, focusing on standards like WebGL and X3D.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
Program Learning Outcomes
This course contributes to the following program learning outcomes:
PLO1: Knowledge - Apply a broad and coherent set of knowledge and skills for developing user-centric computing solutions for contemporary societal challenges.
PLO2: Problem Solving - Apply systematic problem solving and decision-making methodologies to identify, design and implement computing solutions to real world problems, demonstrating the ability to work independently to self-manage processes and projects.
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course you should be able to:
- apply knowledge and skills of fundamentals of 3D graphics, including geometry modelling, hierarchical transformations, lighting and shading, texturing, and simple animation to Web 3D and graphics technologies
- design and develop web 3D and graphics using X3D, WebGL and Javascript languages
- build 3D web applications and solve related problems
- construct scenes using the scene graph concept and facilities in WebGL and X3D
- use Javascript at a basic level to build WebGL applications and perform basic 3D graphics programming.
Overview of Learning Activities
A range of learning experiences is planned for you such as lectures, tutorials and laboratories. Lectures are used to introduce new material; tutorials and laboratories are used to clarify and explore topics introduced in lectures, through exercises and solving computer graphic problems. Your active and constructive participation in weekly reading, and individual exercises and careful planning and completion of assessment tasks is expected.
Overview of Learning Resources
Lecture notes will be made available online.
For extra support with study organization, assignment planning or learning skills you may wish to contact any of the following:
