you should have enough to get started if you choose to make this your project extension.

Remarks on Forward and Inverse Dynamics

Some more remarks when we will talk about simulation

Advanced Rendering Techniques

... that allow us to deal with global illumination.

We discuss Photon Mapping and Ambient Occlusion now, because they are suitable project extensions.

We will talk about Radiosity later, which is less suitable as a project extension.
