Section outline

  • Concept, intermediate, and final submissions will be submitted via Github classroom. 

    26.03.2021 23:59: Concept submission

    • Submit via Github classroom.
    • Create a group and use your movie title as a group name.
    • Fill out the template in the README.md file:
      • Specify group members with full name and student ID.
      • Explain the overall movie idea and concept.
      • Choose special effect(s) adding up to exactly 30 points.
    • Push edited README.md to Github.
    • Make sure that the correctly filled out README.md will show up on the front page of your group repository.

    23.04.2021 23:59: Intermediate submission (the week of the 5th LAB)

    • This submission is mandatory! Without submitting you cannot continue the course.
    • Prepare a first version of your movie that:
      • is 30 seconds long,
      • contains animated objects, and
      • has an animated camera movement. 
    • Push the intermediate project to Github on the day of the submission deadline.
      The repository needs to contain:
      • code/ Intermediate code + resources + libs
      • video/ A screen recording of the intermediate result
    • Note that you don’t need to use any lighting, materials, or textures yet. This will be discussed in later labs and can be added to the project afterward!

    22.06.2021 23:59: Final submission

    • Push your final submission to your Github repository.
    • The package needs to contain:
      • code/ Documented code + resources + libs
      • video/ A screen recording of the movie
      • README.md
      Document which minimal aspects/requirements, basic movie parts, and special effects are implemented in a correct way by filling out the table.
      Mention in the comments column of the table where you have implemented the code for all minimal aspects/requirements and where it is visible (e.g., spotlight is the lamp post shining on the street).
      Explain special effects by describing how they work in principle and how you implemented them.
      Add known issues and limitations.
      Announce the workload of each team member in %, adding up to 100%.

    24.-30.06.2021: Individual interviews

    • Understanding will be checked in individual interviews at the end of the semester. The questions can target conceptual aspects (e.g., Phong shader theory, transformation pipeline, how to render objects without the scene graph implementation) as well as specific implementation details.
    • Each student needs to understand all parts of the project, even those primarily contributed by only one of the group partners.
    • We will send out a Doodle poll for coordinating the time slots.
    • The members of the same group will be asked sequentially.
