COURSE OUTLINE

Week	Topics
1	Visual simulation of natural phenomena. The introdution lecture – algorithmic simulation systems, technological, historical and developing aspects.
2	Procedural modeling and animation, simulation od looks, moves, behaviour and belonging.
3	Object and composite simulation. Technological and creative requirements for simulation.
4	Professional multidisciplinary environment and organization. Exchange of content. Network and hierarchical cooperation.
5	Advanced techniques of modeling, procedural modeling, modeling for deform animation. Subdivision surfaces, multiresolution surfaces, patch modeling, tessellation of curved surfaces. Simulation: shading, procedural maps, multi-layer maps, „toon-look“, simulation of skin and fur, photorealistic and fictional look, rendering.
6	Movement simulation: mechanics and dynamics of movement, soft and stiff bodies, forces, collision and interaction, integral and composite rendering.
7	Dynamics of particles, creating the system of particles, control of expansion and movement, forces and interaction, instantiation of particles.
8	Midterm
9	Procedural animation, simulation of behaviour: clothing simulation system, clothing design, giving visual and physical features, simulation technology. External simulation technologies of hair, clothing and soft bodies, forces and deformations, interaction and rendering.
10	Advanced rendering technologies, raytrace, photons, global illumination, image-based rendering.
11	Natural phenomena simulation: creation and animation of ocean by fluids, ocean rendering, control of paddle and ship trail, ocean rendering and compositing.
