Below you will find the lecture plan and the link to the lecture slides archive.
Since we have international students in the course, all lectures will be held in english.
Lecture plan (preliminary)

14. Radiosity, path tracing (Chapter 17) Low-level algorithms (Chapter 15) Loose ends. OpenGL ES.
Note: This is a preliminary schedule. Some changes are planned at the later lectures.
Lessons
Two lessons are scheduled in VT2. These are exam preparation, to help you get on track for the written exam. Note: If you have 20 point or more on the duggas, you have already passed, and only need to take the exam if you want to raise your grade.
Lecture slides
Lecture slides will appear here, generally shortly before or after the lectures. If you want to check out the slides before the lecture, you can find old versions by the link below.
Note that some lecture notes are very few pages. That is simply when I have worked a lot on the whiteboard.
There may be overlap between the PDF's, when material has been included in the presentation for one lecture but delayed to the next.
PDFs from 2024 are/will be here: pdf24
PDFs from 2023 are here: pdf23
