LAR 5430 - Landscape Visualization & 3-D Modeling

Investigates advanced computer-based techniques for landscape visualization, including 3-D geometric modeling, texture mapping and animation. A series of lectures, computer-based workshop exercises and readings of increasing sophistication focus on internal and external representations of terrain elements: landform, vegetation, water, meteorological and atmospheric effects. Photo-realistic and abstract strategies are explored to augment design investigation and presentation.
