GRAFICA - A COMPUTER GRAPHICS TEACHING ASSISTANT Andreas Savva, George Ioannou,
Vasso Stylianou, and George Portides This paper
presents an interactive software program, called Grafica, which is
used as a tool to introduce important concepts and algorithms of
computer graphics to computer science and computer engineering
students. The software has been specially developed for educational
purposes, and generates surfaces defined by an arbitrary topology of
control points using subdivision splines. The user can apply various
transformations (translation, rotation, scaling), lighting,
rendering, parallel or perspective projection, geometric modelling
using the subdivision method of Catmull and Clark (1978), and in
general illustrate visually a large number of computer graphics
concepts. |
