Learning Outcomes

At the end of the course unit students should be able to address and solve problems in which the use of 3D graphics systems is a fundamental requisite, in particular:
CO1 - Explain concepts related to 3D graphics systems, photorealistic rendering, 3D modelling and the necessary knowledge to develop advanced interactive 3D graphics systems (Bloom level 4);
CO2 - Analyze/evaluate advanced solutions for the optimization of photorealistic rendering systems and software capabilities for modelling and photorealistic rendering (BL 5);
CO3 - Create advanced interactive 3D graphics systems (BL 6);
CO4 - Apply standard 3D graphics development tools (BL 4)
