Graphics Visualization Project

System Overview

The Graphics Visualization system (GViz or "gee whiz!" for short) provides a simple, unified environment in which graphics algorithms can be implemented, visualized, and analyzed. It was designed as a support tool for our undergraduate graphics courses, C481 and C482, and can be used for class presentations as well as for programming and non-programming exercises.

Examples

Here are some of the graphics algorithms and concepts which we have visualized with the GViz system.

3D Viewing Pipeline Transformations
Phong Reflection Model
Ray Tracing
