Course credit points: 3
This introductory course stands at the base of the vast Computer Graphic world, whose outcome we see in medical applications, industrial modeling, entertainment and many other fields.
The course is given as part of the CGGC group.
The course will cover basic rendering techniques, introduction to OpenGL and a few selected advanced topics.

Using AI Bots (e.g., ChatGPT):
You are allowed to use AI bots in this course, but you must disclose that you did so, and for what purpose.
Examples include:
1. Using a chatbot (e.g., ChatGPT) to help you compile, link, research an API call, or find an answer to a non CG related question.
This is allowed. You should specify which chatbot, and the general purpose (e.g. "help with compilation", or similar).
2. Using an AI-collaborative coding environment (e.g., Co-Pilot) to write non CG related code (e.g., input/output, string operations, etc.).
This is allowed. You should specify which environment, and the general purpose (e.g. "writing the input/output functions").
3. Using an AI-collaborative coding environment (e.g., Co-Pilot) to write CG related code (e.g., parts of the rasterizer, shaders, z-buffer, etc.). Any algorithm that we teach in the lecture or the tutorial is CG related.
THIS IS NOT ALLOWED.
If in doubt, ask.
You are responsible for the code you submit, and you should be able to explain it.
