3D Graphics for Dummies

Wednesday, October 27 • 4:45pm - 5:45pm

by Chris Ryan

Summary of the talk:

Three-dimensional graphics are much simpler than you would think. I will present the rudimentary techniques for the designs of a simple C++ Matrix library and operator methodologies, through an introduction to 3D Graphics: Points, Vectors, Coordinate Spaces, Matrix Math, Depth Buffer and Rasterization.

We will explore the blood and guts of a C++ Matrix library and 3D graphics. Rather than using off-the-shelf libraries like Unity and OpenGL, we will examine a simple library I wrote to teach myself about the subject. Includes demo of the graphics library/app.
