Misconceptions about the nature of the computing discipline(s) pose a serious problem to faculties that offer computing degrees, as students enrolling on their programmes come to realise that their expectations are not met ...

We present a student group project, which takes a different spin on the driving game genre, turning it into a racing 'launcher' game. This undergraduate group project that students from different disciplines (ranging from ...

We present 'Reverse Skew-T', a tool that allows users to direct a physically inspired simulation of layered clouds. To achieve this, we extend existing models for cloud simulation and provide a graphical user interface for ...

ACM SIGGRAPH and Eurographics are restarting CGEMS, the Computer Graphics Educational Materials Source, an on-line repository of curricular material for computer graphics education. In this context, the question that we ...

We present a graphics application programming assignment from an introductory programming course with a computer graphics focus. This assignment involves simple image-processing, asking students to write a conversion program ...

Version Control System (VCS) techniques for managing the creation of 3D computer generated models exist for static 3D models, however, there are no solutions for revision control of the animation data from animated 3D ...

The process of animating a complex 3D character can be a time consuming activity which may take several iterations and several artists working in collaboration, each iteration improving some elements of the animation but ...

This paper presents an effective assignment in the shape of a computer graphics application from an introductory computing course with a graphics programming flavour. The assignment involves basic 2D computer graphics used ...

For night-time scenes in computer graphics there exist few consistent models or implementations for sky illumination, and those that do exist lack the feature of light pollution from artificial light sources. We present ...

Among educators, the promotion of undergraduate research is a much debated topic, with issues arising from questions as to how it can be integrated with undergraduate degree programmes and how to structure its delivery. ...
