CS 418 Final project animation
Computer Science 418
Cornell University
Final Project Animations.
These animations were submitted as final class projects
by students in
Computer Science 418
(Cornell University) during
the 1994 through 1996 spring semesters.
This course provides an introduction to the principles of
interactive computer graphics and
scientific visualization. Topics include two- and three-dimensional
graphics algorithms (perspective transformations, hidden-line and
hidden-surface algorithms, parametric surfaces), lighting models, image
synthesis, and application to scientific data analysis.
They were created using
IBM's Data Explorer.
The instructor is
Bruce Land.
