CG Seminar

Seminar was given to students on the following topics:

1. What is GPU? CPU vs GPU
2. How Touch Screen works?
3. Texture Mapping in OpenGL
4. How z-buffer Algorithm works?
5. How Ball Mouse and Optical Mouse work?
6. Interfaces to Three Dimensional Applications
7. Projections and Shadows
8. How to display Text in OpenGL?

Students actively participated in the seminar and the content delivered in the seminar was satisfactory.

I would like to thank each of the students who presented the seminar topics and also to the students who attended the seminar with enthusiasm.

CG Lab Termworks

Following link contains list of CG Lab termworks, based on which, final lab evaluation would be conducted during last week of April. 

Go through these termworks and implement the same on your own.

In-case of any doubts/clarifications, feel free to approach me during college hours.

CG Lab Termworks

These termworks cover the following CG Concepts:

• Input interaction and menus
• Generating Fractals
• 2D and 3D Object Transformations
• Specification of Projections
• Positioning and Orienting the Camera
• Lighting and material specifications
