Introducing students to the methods of 3D object modeling and animation.

Acquired knowledge is a good basis for practical work in this field.

Mapping. Mapping procedure, Interpolation, Interpolation parameters, linear interpolation in 3D. MIP map. Bump mapping. Dislocated map. Illumination map. Illumination. Definitions: light, lighting, shadows. Visualization of lights. Reflection: Phong model, Specular reflection, Diffuse reflection. White and colored light. Tinted light. Light and water, Caustics. Light sources: point and cone light. Cylindrical light and area light. Ambient and linear light. Basic components of light sources: position and orientation, color and intensity, shadow. Lighting scenes: Key light, Fill light, Kick and Rim light. Light position: frontal and laterally. Camera. 3D view: synthetic camera. Visible surfaces. Synthetic camera: position, orientation, Look and Up vectors. Aspect Ratio. Angle of view, camera lens. Front and Back clipping planes. Focal Length. Camera types: Target and Free. Camera view control. Depth of Field. Camera on Path. Types of Camera Shots. Dynamic camera.
