TCS 130: Fundamentals of 3D Computer Graphics

Welcome to the course! During this quarter, we will cover the main concepts of 3D computer graphics, including modeling, rendering and animation. Students will complete a set of exercises in Maya in order to explore these concepts. The focus of the course is on allowing students to become comfortable using 3D animation software (Maya, in this case) and on providing a solid grounding in the fundamentals of 3D computer graphics. This course will be the prerequisite for future CG courses in TCS. Detailed information can be found below.
