Learning outcomes of the course unit

The students will get acquainted with the advanced computer animation and computer graphics methods suitable for dynamic and large scale scenes. They will also learn how to practically implement selected algorithms through projects.

The students will practice teamwork on the projects, work with literature, and practical experience with C/C++ language.
