 Srinivas Akella: Three-Dimensional Computer Graphics
The ECSE-4750 Computer Graphics course is not a prerequisite.
The prerequisites for 3D Computer Graphics (CSCI-4962) are Data Structures and Algorithms (CSCI-2300) and Matrix Algebra and Multivariable Calculus (MATH-2010).
This course is an introduction to the principles of 3D computer graphics modeling, rendering, and animation.

 art and design – 3D computer graphics
3D computer graphics are distinct from 2D computer graphics in that a three-dimensional virtual representation of objects is stored in the computer for the purposes of performing calculations and rendering images.
3D computer graphics are works of graphic art that were created with the aid of digital computers and specialized 3D software.
In general, the term may also refer to the process of creating such graphics, or the field of study of 3D computer graphic techniques and its related technology.

 Vector Math Tutorial for 3D Computer Graphics
Although primarily aimed at university computer science students, this tutorial is useful to any programmer interested in 3D computer graphics or 3D computer game programming.
Vectors and matrices are used in all scientific and engineering fields, and any other field that uses computers (are there any that don't?) In many fields, the vocabulary used for vectors and matrices does not match that used in computer graphics.
This tutorial is useful for more than computer graphics.

 3D Computer Graphics
In the thirty years that followed this rather inauspicious beginning, computer games have made a couple of quantum leaps forward technologically, as newer faster chips were created that could support the greater hardware requirements of these games.
Before the discussion of how this graphics technique works, it is essential that the reader understand what ray casting really is. Ray tracing involves tracking rays of light through a computer —created image, in order to determine the color of those rays after they have reflected off of various surfaces.
At this point in computer graphics history, commercial game companies introduced many different graphics techniques for use in a variety of genres.

 Computer Graphics World - Extreme 3D Art
At the heart of the process of digital sculpture is the desire to translate 3D objects designed in the virtual space of the computer into physical objects.
Using systems that are becoming increasingly accessible to the non-technologist by virtue of improved graphical interfaces and hardware, artists can now move with impunity (if not total freedom) in a domain previously dominated by computer scientists and engineers.
While computer artists are adept at modeling, those interested in the power of this new dimension must also be aware of the following 3D data capture (input) and manufacturing (output) technologies:
