The first assignment for Ken Perlin’s Computer Graphics course is to explain why I’m interested in computer graphics and what I want to get out of the course. My assignments will be posted to my github. I’m interested in Computer Graphics as a creative window into more advanced topics in computer science and math. I took […]
