As a hands-on introduction to Computer Graphics and Animation, we'll be stepping through an Art of Illusion tutorial.
Art of Illusion is an application which can be used for both computer graphics and animation. As an example, we'll be creating a model of a rocket and animating it to launch from just outside our building. Quicktime Pro is used to turn a sequence of frames into a movie. An AOI tutorial handout is provided to guide you through the process and we'll walking around to assist you during the session. Please try out the steps outlined first and then have some fun experimenting.
In computer science we learn about designing and developing applications like this. After all, somebody has to write the software!
