I posted the class projects to the Wooden Monkey website. Have a great summer!

CDF student site marks are updated

Tue, 14 Apr 2009 22:49:58 -0400

They now include A2 and A3. There are some outstanding remark requests, however. Two people have zeros for A3 since they neither made a submission nor were credited in a submission made by a partner--get in touch ASAP if you see a zero for A3.

There was lots of other great work too--great job everyone! I've shown your work to some other graphics folks who were really impressed. I'll post a compilation video on the web in the next day or two and we'll add them to the Wooden Monkey page in the next few weeks. For the ray tracer, the stand-out images are listed above. In some cases it was one that stood out a lot; in other cases is was quality of work across a variety of images. For the animations, there seems to be a general theme of robots not getting along so well. :-)

Again, this was judged entirely independently of your marks (the TA who marked A3 was not involved in judging) and reflects in no way on what anyone got mark-wise. We considered creative quality, technical quality, demonstration quality, and any work done beyond the assignment options.

Exam Review

Fri, 3 Apr 2009 20:13:35 -0400

Next week’s tutorial will be a joint tutorial exam review session led by Christian. It’ll be held in 1180. Also, during the last lecture, right before that, I’ll show results from the Wooden Monkey competition.

A3 Reminders

Tue, 24 Mar 2009 23:45:37 -0400

Some reminders for Assignment 3: It’s due next Monday. We’re marking on CDF Linux, everything needs to build and run on CDF Linux machines without requiring us to install anything. Your report is important--it’s where we’ll be looking to see what you did, how you did it, and where we can find the implementations in your code. Check the A3 bulletin board for clarifications on particular parts of the assignment.

Office Hours Friday
