Computer Graphics

New to r/CG? Graphics cards or other PC hardware questions?

Unless it's specifically related to CG, /r/buildapc might be a better bet if you're curious as to which GPU to get and other build-related questions.

Keep a lookout for an update to the FAQ soon. Thanks!

Image processing with circle packing

2023-01-28T09:22:19+00:00

This project redraws an input image with circle packing, implemented with Taichi the programming language. It first runs Canny edge detection to detect the edges in the image and uses distance transform to get the minimum distance from each pixel to the edges. Circles are then packed into the image without creating any overlap.

Project source code: https://gist.github.com/neozhaoliang/02754b488de2de857a57e98ac6e59168

More Taichi projects: https://www.reddit.com/r/taichi_lang/

Beginning to create some 3D art of Andor in Blender, documenting my process!

2023-01-27T17:06:05+00:00

I really enjoyed both Rogue One and Andor, and decided I'd begin creating some fan animations and 3D renders as the year goes on. I am recording my process if any one loves breakdowns/bts vfx or is interested in figuring out how to make their own 3d fan art! You can also check out my film vfx reel to see some star wars fan content I've started to develop over the last year.

Academics in Computer graphics what classes should I take as an undergraduate ?

2023-01-26T21:48:50+00:00

Hey y'all!

I'm a current freshman in a US uni interested in pursuing computer graphics (realistic rendering, AR) as a career (PhD and then industry). From what I figured doing a CS + MATH double major would suite this goal the best, but I would like to ask all of the graphics researchers in this channel what classes you would recommend I take in my undergrad? (in any subject related to graphics)

Here are some classes I was thinking of taking to strengthen my knowledge that can be applied to graphics:

CS:

Intro to Computer graphics (https://classes.cornell.edu/browse/roster/FA21/class/CS/4620)
intro to CV https://classes.cornell.edu/browse/roster/SP22/class/CS/4670
Interactive computer graphics https://classes.cornell.edu/browse/roster/SP21/class/CS/5625
Realistic image synthesis https://classes.cornell.edu/browse/roster/FA22/class/CS/6630
Computation for content creation (https://classes.cornell.edu/browse/roster/SP21/class/CS/6682)

MATH:

linear algebra (completed), vector and multivariate calculus (completed)
honors linear algebra
intro to differential geometry (https://classes.cornell.edu/browse/roster/SP21/class/MATH/4540)
Classical Geometries and Modern Applications (https://classes.cornell.edu/browse/roster/FA21/class/MATH/4520)
Applicable Geometry (https://classes.cornell.edu/browse/roster/SP21/class/MATH/4550)
Intro to PDEs (https://classes.cornell.edu/browse/roster/SP21/class/MATH/4280)

I also thought about taking the following: Intro to ML, Intro to RL, Intro to large scale ML, myb intro to game architecture, numerical analysis (linear non-linear and differential).

Do you think I should take these classes? Which other classes do you think I should take as well?

THANKS!

I want to do a PhD. Please, review my situation/plan and help me to achieve that!

2023-01-25T13:28:07+00:00

Hello everyone!

TL;DR: In this post I am going to describe: how I consider doing PhD in Computer Graphics, some of my relevant personal traits, my current plan + I am looking for advices from you.

Recently I started a master degree program focused on Computer Graphics and I am happy that I chose this path and I am really getting passionate about it. Before my master degree program My closest relationship with computer graphics was from game development (e.g. engines etc.). Now I started to learn OpenGL/Metal and about rendering techniques. I should finish the master's in May 2024.

My situation:

- I have ADHD, high IQ -> sometimes I can come up with quite unique out of the box solution but my common sense is not the best, you can try to explain to me the most basic thing and I don't get it, I keep overthinking that. Thanks to ADHD I am a guy loves freedom -> I don't mind rules but It is impossible for me to follow byrocratic rules. Sometimes I do forget stuff etc. However when I get a good idea I get super engaged and I can produce quality output. I like to do things "my way".

- I have a quite nice personal achievement, as a student I made a mobile game with millions of installs, I sold the game and earned some good money. During my bachelor I tried to found game studio, even hired some people but It was impossible for me to study and run a company. Now my 2 game projects are "on a pause/frozen" -> one of them has still quite high chance to be profitable but my adhd wants me to work on something else, even I invested money in it. So I have some bussines experience. Keep in mind that this post is not about my game development journey -> but this could be mentioned when I apply for the PhD.

- My grades from bachelor are HORRIBLE (E guy) - the reason is that because of my previous game succes I got lazy because of money I earned, covid and the company. Currently grades from master's they are better and my motivation is MUCH higher but still I am not an A student. How this can affect my application?

- at my current university there is no Computer Research in terms of realistic rendering etc. They focus on medical visualisations and Human Computer Interaction. I am looking for a research in realistic rendering/illumination techniques -> used in games/movies/graphics software.

- Funding should not be a problem.

- My biggest concern is: I don't want to just get an email "You are not accepted" without a chance to show my skills.

- I am from EU.

My plan to improve myself and increase my chances:

- I suppose that I need to have a strong record of personal project/research since my academia grades have not been good. I have a year and half of time to improve myself.

- Thanks to my earnings from the game I don't need to get a job for the next 1/2 years. I want to use this time to study. I bought books about Realtime and Physically Based Rendering and the next semester I am gonna study it and implement procedures from the book.

- As I mentioned CG/visualisation research teams at my uni focus on medical visualisations and Human Computer Interaction <- fields I am not really interested in. I feel I would rather do my own simple research and consult it with the profesors. I have some quite simple small ideas which I could implement and publish it as a paper but maybe I am too ambitious.

- By the end of the June I want to have an interesting master's thesis topic and then work on it.

- There is a possibility to teach seminars of OpenGL for bachelor students.

- I have read that I should get in touch with desired research groups before I apply. Do you have any advices how should I approach? So far I came up with -> study their work and try to find a way they could benefit if I joined, show my tools I implemented, my master thesis, etc. I suppose that "Hello, I want to do research with you, please consider me" is not enough.

What I want/expectations, etc.:

- I am looking for a research in realistic rendering/illumination techniques -> used in games/movies/graphics software.

- Honestly I don't know what exactly I expect from the academia but I really like to understand how things work and dig in it, I would like to teach seminars for undergrads. I am not looking for "high paying job at faang and the phd is the only way", although I would like to try. Probably I would return to my own games development after phd. Staying in academia is also an option.

- I want to do PhD abroad -> I am willing to reallocate ANYWHERE in the world. For personal reasons I am hoping for London (not a requirement, is anything there?). What universities with computer graphics research do you know?

My questions:

- Can you give me a feedback on what is written above? Is my perception correct? How should I prepare to improve my chances?

- How can my poor grades from bachelor affect my application?

- How do I avoid to get "eliminated" in the first round without showing my skills etc?

- How does the application process look like? How competitive applications are?

- What are the important traits of phd candidate? For who do the universities look for?

- What universities with computer graphics research do you know? UCL in London impressed me, am I too ambitious?

- What else should I know?

- Can you share your journey?

I will be grateful for any advice. Also I hope you don't mind I post this to other relevant subreddits.
