Description
Modeling of geometry and its animation has a wide range of applications, ranging from scientific representation to computer animation. This course covers the foundations, together with advanced techniques, for the representation of curves and surfaces, the dynamics of their parameters, and animation in general. It covers both phenomenological as well as physically based approaches for animation, and presents their application, including particle systems, deformation, and techniques for character animation.
