Grading
(Recap)
Course style
 Assignments : 75%
 @class
 Surveys during the course
 Uniform grading independent from the responses.
 Graphics programming
 Participating Discussions during the class : 25%
 Asking questions about computer graphics
 “question” is more important than answer.
 Answering the question
 Welcome to answer the question!
 Bring your own device! Participate actively!
 We will take surveys for check your understandings
 You can do assignment during the class
 You can also audit edX course while you wait others
 Please bring earphone/headphone if you have
 @home
 Audit edX course
 You can download video/transcript if you want.
 Please tell me your ID when you ask/answer.

 ヘビーそう。
This course seems tough…
 課題には早く取り掛かってください．そうすれば必要な支援が受けら
れます．
Start early!! We can support you if you start early.
 授業内で課題が終わらなかった場合，持ち帰ることは可能か？
If I could not finish homework, can I do it at home?
questions/comments in the previous survey
 可能です，まずは早く始めてください．課題の提出期日は，課されて
から2週間後に提出期限になるようにします．必要があれば翌週授業中
に支援を受けてください．
Yes, you can, but Start early!! Each assignment will be due two
weeks after it is out. Please ask us next week if you need supports.

 英語が苦手なので自習の進度が授業に間に合わないのではな
いかという不安があります。
I’m concerned that I cannot catch up with the course
to audit the online lecture because of English skills.
 慣れないスタイルなので正しく活用できるかは心配です。
I’m concerned because I’m not familiar with the style.
 こんな形の授業を受けたことないので、まず、うけて見ます。
I’m not familiar with the “flipped classroom.”
https://courses.edx.org/courses/BerkeleyX/CS_184.1x/3T2014/courseware/Unit_3/Homework_3/
 オンライン教材は再生が何度もでき，英語の書き起こし文もあり
ますので，英語講義を対面授業でただ聞くだけよりも多くの面で
有利です．英語の勉強にもなりますので頑張ってください．
By using online course material, you can repeat the movie
and read the transcripts.
It must be easier than to audit face-to-face lecture.

 情報系出身でないのでコンピュータグラフィックスについて基礎
的な部分もわかってないし、英語なのが不安
I’m concerned that I do not know much about computer
graphics. I’m not confident in my English skills as well.
 I‘m concerned about following up the course since
my background in CG is not very strong. I hope the
complexity of the course will raise really gradually so
that it’s easier to follow.
CGについてあまり詳しくないので付いていけるか不安で
す．難易度が徐々に上がるようにしてください．
 英語がわからないというより、他分野出身なので日本語でも用語
がわからない。
I’m not familiar with technical terms even if it is in Japanese.
 もちろん，初学者を対象とした講義内容としますので，心配いりませ
ん．
日本語の質問も歓迎します．分からなければ遠慮なく聞いてください．
Do not worry, this course targets beginners.
Do not hesitate to ask me anything in Japanese.
I will pay efforts to translate it into English.

 laptopが重くて持って来れないのですが、必要ならがん
ばって持ってきます。
My laptop is so heavy…Do I need to bring it?
 it seems interesting. i want to learn how to use
OpenGL properly.
 持ってくるのはassignmentの次の週，支援が必要な時だけで
結構です．支援が必要なければ，そのあいだ（授業中に）
Online courseの次の単元を（Smartphoneなどで）聴講して
もらって構いません．
You can bring your laptop only when you need support
to finish the assignment. If you do not need any support,
you can audit next lecture in edX while waiting for others
during this class.
 After watching SIGGRAPH's video, I think CG is very
cool and interesting research field.
 SIGGRAPHに非常に興味をもちました。 初めて勉強する分
野なので、非常に楽しみです。
 楽しみにしています
 I hope you enjoy this CG course!

(Recap)
What is Computer Graphics?
3D Computer Graphics
 Outputs visual representation via computation
 Main target of this course:
For example,
 Static:
 How to describe 3D scene as INPUT
 How to compute 2D image as OUTPUT
Pictures / Objects
 Other representations
 Dynamic: Movies
 2D scene -> 2D
 Output devices
 Printer
Display
(static)
(dynamic: varying with time)
 3D scene -> 3D printer
 2D / 3D
(spatially)
 3D scene -> 3D display
 Sometimes require “Rasterize” (ラスタライズ)
 “3D display” mostly use a set of 2D images
 ND scene -> 2D : “Visualization” (可視化) research field
How to represent
INPUT/OUTPUT?
Many output devices use
raster description
raster
vector
raster
(x1,y1)
(x2,y2)
(x3,y3)
(x1,y1) - (x2,y2) - (x3,y3)
f (x,y) = color
f (x,y) = color

Discuss pros and cons of raster
and vector representation?
ラスタ・ベクタ表現の
利点・欠点はなんでしょう？
A 3D scene is
usually described by vector
A set of polygon
(many tetragons)
Sphere
Find neighborhood to discuss
Take 5 min.
How about raster
as an INPUT?
In 3DCG, we need conversion
from vector to raster
