Introduction

One primary goal of computer graphics is to synthesize realistic images which are indistinguishable from real photographs. Methods of this category were very slow. However, recent progresses on GPUs have made interactive realistic rendering possible. This course will cover realistic image synthesis techniques that could be or have been used to make animations such as Finding Nemo and games such Half Life.
