Abstract :
An upper-level undergraduate 3-D computer graphics course using the IBM PC with an enhanced graphics adapter (EGA) or video graphics array (VGA) card was developed. Topics discussed in this course include three-dimensional viewing transformations, geometric transformations, animation, hidden line and surface removal, interpolations, and shading techniques. A broad coverage of computer graphics techniques and the easy accessibility of the IBM PC to a large number of students are the major features of the course
