Evaluation of student knowledge is via a single exam after the course ends. During this exam, several of the questions listed in the document with sample questions for the course will be asked. The grade is the average of the performance on the individual questions. Successful completion of the practicals depends on handing in several assignments during the course of the semester in a timely fashion.

Last update: JUDr. Dana Macharová (13.02.2009)

This course introduces the concepts behind, and the technicalities of, shader-based appearance modelling.

The main focus of the lecture is the RenderMan approach to shading, with some comparisons to real-time

shading languages. The practical part of the course will use an open source RenderMan renderer to let

students gain hands-on experience with such a system.
