Introduction and Purposes
This course introduces students to computer animation and related simulation techniques,as applicable to computer games, virtual reality systems, and film special effects. Efficient numerical methods for simulating a variety of visually interesting physical phenomena will be discussed in the context of both interactive and offline simulation. Topics include deformable objects (solids, cloth), fluids, character rigging, quaternions, inverse kinematics, motion capture,sound simulation, collision detection, haptics, rigid body dynamics, and GPU programming.

A grade of at least B in CS420 or CS580, or explicit permission of instructor. If you took a similar course at another university, contact the instructor.
Familiarity with calculus, linear algebra, and numerical computation
C/C++ programming skills
Readings
There is no required textbook. Selected articles and course notes will be made available online.
A good reference on computer animation:
Rick Parent: Computer Animation, Second Edition: Algorithms and Techniques , Second edition, Publisher: Morgan Kaufmann, ISBN: 9780125320009
A reference book on OpenGL is recommended for help with the homeworks:
Dave Shreiner: OpenGL Programming Guide: The Official Guide to Learning OpenGL, Versions 3.0 and 3.1 , Seventh edition, Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional, ISBN: 9780321552624
Assignments
There will be three programming homework assignments in C/C++ and OpenGL, related to the material covered in class. Please see the schedule for links to assignments and due dates.All assignments must be done individually.
Grading
Assignments: 21 each (63 total)
Final exam: 37
All assignments must be completed to pass the course. The assignments will have a small amount of extra credit.Students must take the final exam to pass the course.
Late policy: Programming assignments should be turned in by midnight on the day they are due.A total of three late days may be taken during the semester on programming assignments. For example, you can use one late day on the second assignment, and two on the third assignment. All days are counted, including any weekends and holidays, as follows:
Less than 24 hours late = 1 late day, 24-48 hours late = 2 late days,48-72 hours late = 3 late days, and so on.
The flexibility provided by the late days is intended to get you through the time where all your classes just happen to have assignments due on the same day.Beyond the three late days, there will be a penalty of 10 of the value of the assignment / day.Exceptions will be granted only under most dire circumstances and must be discussed with and approved by the instructor at least one week in advance.Assignment and exam grading may be discussed within three weeks of them being returned to the students.
Academic integrity
All students are expected to maintain the utmost level of academic integrity.Do not copy any parts of any of the assignments from anyone. Do not look at other students' code, papers, assignments or exams.The university policies on academic conduct will be applied rigorously, and the USC Office of Student Judicial Affairs and Community Standards will be notified.
Statement on Academic Conduct and Support Systems
Academic Conduct
Plagiarism - presenting someone else's ideas as your own, either verbatim or recast in your own words, is a serious academic offense with serious consequences. Please familiarize yourself with the discussion of plagiarism in SCampus in Section 11, Behavior Violating University Standards, https://scampus.usc.edu/1100-behavior-violating-university-standards-and-appropriate-sanctions/. Other forms of academic dishonesty are equally unacceptable. See additional information in SCampus and university policies on scientific misconduct, http://policy.usc.edu/scientific-misconduct/.
Discrimination, sexual assault, and harassment are not tolerated by the university. You are encouraged to report any incidents to the Office of Equity and Diversity http://equity.usc.edu/ or to the Department of Public Safety http://capsnet.usc.edu/department/department-public-safety/online-forms/contact-us. This is important for the safety whole USC community. Another member of the university community -- such as a friend, classmate, advisor,or faculty member -- can help initiate the report, or can initiate the report on behalf of another person. The Center for Women and Men http://www.usc.edu/student-affairs/cwm/ provides 24/7 confidential support, and the sexual assault resource center webpage sarc@usc.edu describes reporting options and other resources.
Support Systems
A number of USC's schools provide support for students who need help with scholarly writing. Check with your advisor or program staff to find out more. Students whose primary language is not English should check with the American Language Institute http://dornsife.usc.edu/ali, which sponsors courses and workshops specifically for international graduate students. The Office of Disability Services and Programs http://sait.usc.edu/academicsupport/centerprograms/dsp/home_index.html provides certification for students with disabilities and helps arrange the relevant accommodations. If an officially declared emergency makes travel to campus infeasible, USC Emergency Information http://emergency.usc.edu/will provide safety and other updates, including ways in which instruction will be continued by means of blackboard, teleconferencing, and other technology.

Statement for Students with Disabilities Dating Simulator Game
Any student requesting academic accommodations based on a disability is required to register with Disability Services and Programs (DSP) each semester. A letter of verification for approved accommodations can be obtained from DSP. Please be sure the letter is delivered to me (or to TA) as early in the semester as possible. DSP is located in STU 301 and is open 8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The phone number for DSP is (213) 740-0776.
