COSC 3P98 Computer Graphics

Go here for course information.

This page contains example student work from the computer science department's COSC 3P98 Computer Graphics course. The course concentrates on graphics fundamentals and OpenGL programming. The course also provides an opportunity for hands-on experience with commercial graphics applications. The department maintains labs of Unix and XP workstations, as well as an 8-CPU unix server. Available commercial software includes Poser and Bryce.
