- 4MMRTR

Goal(s)

The objective of this course unit is to cover real-time rendering on graphics cards. To do so, this course will address the key concepts for real-time 3D scene rendering.
The course will cover technical notions related to engine programming:

Communication between CPU and GPU via a graphics API (Vulkan C++)
GPU programming via a dedicated language (Slang or GLSL)

Physics and optics concepts to model interactions between light and matter:

Interaction between an opaque surface and light ? BRDF (Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function)
Interaction between an absorbing volume (cloud, smoke, fog) and light ? Radiative Transfer Equation

The approximations and assumptions that can be used to compute light-matter interactions efficiently.
