    • Signal Convolution 

      Hanisch, Frank (The Eurographics Association, 9-7-2007)
      This interactive teaching gem shows the convolution concept for continuous signals and discrete samples. Signals occurring frequently in computer graphics education are predefined; others can be drawn or integrated easily. ...

    • GLRex 

      McDonald, Gerard (The Eurographics Association, 10-8-2006)
      I first taught computer graphics programming on PCs in the late 1980s. We produced images with a few platonic solids in 256 colors. Real-time animation was out of the question. I remember writing programs for my classes ...

    • ShaderSchool – A tutorial for shader programming 

      Reimers, Ulf; Beckhaus, Steffi; Thiesen, Malte (The Eurographics Association, 9-7-2007)
      We present a tool for in-class and self-study learning that provides a convenient introduction into GLSL shader programming. The tool presents shaders in an interactive manner, and can be present in-class in a group ...
