[IMPORTANT] Now we have a clear instruction from TU Wien . The lecture will not happen physically in the seminar room on Thursday. Instead, we will be recording the lectures and putting them on TUWEL. If you have any questions, you could email lecturers, or you can ask me (Hsiang-Yun) in person when the lectures resume. We are sorry for this inconvenience. Please enroll in the TUWEL lecture to keep everything up to date. Since we do not receive any clear instructions about the coronavirus strategy from TU (until 16:48, March 10th), the introductory lecture will happen in the seminar room on Thursday.

 

Organization

Computeranimation VU consists of a lecture and an exercise part. The lectures are spread over the semester and take place in the Seminarraum 186, on the 5th floor in Favoritenstrasse 9-11. The lectures are frontal presentations describing computer animation concepts, closely following the computer animation textbook Computer Animation (Third Edition) by Rick Parent. The course will be held in English. There will be no standard exam at the end of the samester, this year we will schedule a small recapitulation written exam at the beginning of each lecture testing the knowledge gained from the previous lecture. The exercise part consists of an implementation of four computer animation techniques. On this page you can find all important information and dates concerning the course. Registration to the course should be done via the TISS interface.

The lectures will be recorded and uploaded to the TUWEL.
