The page was new 2021 and changes frequently!
This course deals with procedural generation of assets, primarily with the focus on assets for computer games and computer animations but not limited to these.
The course was created by Stefan Gustavson and has been given by him 16 times until 2019. Unfortunately, he is plagued by a long-time illness that caused the course to be canceled 2020. For 2021, we could still not promise Stefan to be in shape to be able to give the course, but this time I volunteered to step in and handle the course. Stefan was still involved, as my advisor. He may or may not take active part in the course. (PS: He very much did, with half of the last lecture which is also planned for this year. Much appreciated!) This made the 2021 course a challenge for me, and to some extent for the participants, since the course had to be given with pretty extensive preparations in limited time.
Fortunately, the 2021 course went very well and I hope I can keep up the quality.
Stefan is giving me full freedom to handle the course my way. I will use Stefan's material a lot (of course I will!) but also model much after how I give my own courses.
As you may have noted, this course page shares its looks and structure with my own courses but absolutely no other webpages that I know of. This is intentional: When you are on the course pages, it is obvious from the looks! This one is green, TSBK07 is blue and TSBK03 is red/black. And my demo/packages pages look totally different from these because they are not course pages (but resources for the course pages). I like it that way!
