Graphics Rendering Techniques

Real-time graphics

• 3D games
• Data-visualization
• VR/AR
  • Requirement on interactivity is even more stringent, 60fps is not enough
  • Rendering 2 different views for left and right eye

Topics include:

• Multi-pass rendering
• Shading/reflection models, shadows
• Non-photorealistic rendering
• Deferred shading
• Rendering algorithms for graphics effects
  • Lighting techniques
  • Procedural texture mapping
  • Screen-space techniques (ambient occlusion)
  • Post-rendering processing
