COURSE AIM
The aim of the course is to provide knowledge of the underlying concepts and insight into
various computer based methods for geometric modelling and visual simulation of surfaces, objects, environments, and lighting in the development of product design. Basic skills in the use of modern computer systems for product development are gained through different exercises in ALIAS.


CONTENTS
Description of IRIX and ALIAS (10%). Structure, commands, and functions.
Basic modelling (75%). Construction assignments.
Characteristics of surfaces (5%). Colour, texture, pattern, transparency etc.
Fundamentals of lighting arrangements and the building of environments and ÓstudiosÓ (5%).
Rendering and handling of pictres (5%). Size of pictures, transportation, printing with different technics.
