Real-Time Rendering

This course covered advanced concepts of real-time rendering as used in virtual reality applications or in computer games including:

• Graphics Hardware (GPU) Architecture
• Optimization
• Advanced Lighting and Shading
• Shading Languages
• Graphics Programming (OpenGL 4.x Core Profile, Vulkan, DirectX)
• Real-time Shadows
• Culling and Visibility
• Levels of Detail and Terrain Rendering
• Image-based Rendering

In the practical part we implemented these topics from scratch using OpenGL and C++ in groups of two. Our project implemented GPU accelerated Particle Systems and SSAO.
