Disgrifiad cryno

Modern game engines are sophisticated tools utilising modern software engineering technics. This module will teach core design principals used to create modern games and real-time graphical systems. We will cover the main algorithms and ideas behind rendering, implementing behaviours, AI and designing complex interactive systems.

Nod

This module provides the basis for programming 3D computer graphics and games using modern game engines. Theoretical concepts are introduced and how they are translated into real-time, interactive applications.

Cynnwys

Developing Interactive Systems: Modular design, Behaviours and AI.
Software Design Patterns in games: Software engineering principals in Game Development.
Graphics: Lighting and shading, surface textures and materials.
Graphics Algorithms and Data Structures: Rendering pipeline, shaders, hidden surface removal.
Modelling and Motion: triangular meshes, animation and skeletal animation.
Math for Games and Graphics
