Coursework
There will be six practical coursework tasks; three of them are assessed:
- Framework
- Transformations
- Illumination (example output 3a 3b 3c 3d) (assessed 40%)
- Colour (example output)
- Texture & Render to Texture (example output 5a 5b 5c) (assessed 10%)
- Simple GPU ray tracing (example output 6a, 6b) (50%)
The individual tasks of the coursework will be implemented using a simplified framework for shader development: http://shaderlabweb.doc.ic.ac.uk/
The ShaderLabWeb Framework
ShaderLabWeb is a teaching tool to solidify the fundamentals of Computer Graphics. The ShaderLabWeb framework is based on JavaScript, Node.js, WebGL, and GLSL and allows the student to modify GLSL shaders in an IDE-like environment. The framework is able to render shaded polyhedral geometry (.off/.obj), supports image-based post-processing, and allows to implement simple ray-tracing algorithms.
