23/3/2011 Shaun Foster and Robert Janowski from RIT take intermediate 3D Modeling students through a research section on how objects are made in real life and discuss an efficient modeling workflow. Their material include a video demonstration modeling a 3D Corkscrew with Autodesk Maya.

17/9/2009 Jose Ribelles and Angeles Lopez (Universitat Jaume) present a useful Tool for Learning 3D Transformations with explanatory manual and with clean source code that can also be used in a Computer Graphics programming course.
Dalton R. Hunkins (St. Bonaventure University) Interactive CG Course covers all of the elements that are usually part of an introductory, OpenGL-based Computer Graphics course. Basic OpenGL functionality is demonstrated by allowing the user to modify the parameters of a function and see the effect on the scene.


28/3/2009 We are collecting educational material showcasing the best examples of teaching Computer Graphics and Digital Arts. If you have developed valuable content in the field - publish it and shape your academic identity!
