BCA Computer Graphics and Animation

bcasemester 5

This course is designed to extend students' knowledge and practice in Graphics hardware, software, and applications. It also provides the knowledge of data structures for graphics, graphics languages, and models for 2D and 3D objects, clipping, hidden surface elimination, depth buffer, raster graphics, shading, and rendering.
