10_Polygons, Planes, Spheres, and Cylinders
In this lesson, we add more tools to our geometry toolset with the introduction of a polygon geometry class and a parametric geometry class. Then, we use t...

9_Rendering 3D Scenes
In this lesson, we implement some basic Geometry and Material classes for rendering a spinning box, and then introduce some extra components to aid in the de...
8_The Scene Graph
This lesson explains the scene graph structure for representing 3D scenes that contain several objects. We implement fundamental components for the CG frame...
7_Enter the Matrix
In this lesson, we build a Matrix class that applies what we learned about calculating geometric transformations and integrate it with our CG framework.
6_Geometric Transformations
This lesson explains the mathematical calculations of common transformations in computer graphics using matrices, such as scaling, rotation, translation, and...
5_Vectors and Matrices
In this lesson we review the mathematical foundations that make geometric transformations possible in computer graphics: vectors and matrices.
4_Animation and Interactivity
In this lesson, we introduce uniform data for use in animations and keyboard events for greater interaction with the application.
3_Drawing Shapes
In this lesson, we add a class to our framework to simplify the use of vertex buffers and then use the class to draw shapes with multiple vertices and colors.
2_Windows and Points
This lesson introduces the basic framework components for creating an application window and rendering a point on the screen.
