Course Description: | Students will learn how to create collections of objects in three dimensions and view the collections from different angles and distances. Interpolators will be introduced that facilitate animations concerning position, rotation, visibility, and by sets of coordinates. Advanced topics include the creation of specialized VRML nodes using prototypes and the use of JavaScript in controlling various aspects of VRML worlds. Each student will do a project using VRML. |
