LOCATION:Sign in to download the location
DESCRIPTION:SP-3: Shaders? Never Heard of Them introduces shaders to stude
 nts and goes over the basics of how computers take shaders from GPU instr
 uctions to actual images on a screen. The event will cover what shaders a
 re\, how the graphics pipeline works\, the roles of vertex and fragment s
 haders\, and how to write and run a basic shader tool. In the hands-on ac
 tivity\, attendees will represent their own face using geometry and equat
 ions and have the computer render it. Attendees will learn how GPUs draw 
 images and how mathematical descriptions become visual output\, with skil
 ls useful for game development\, visualization\, and even AI.\n\nSP-3: Tu
 rning My Face into a Math Problem : This session is based on Algorithms\,
  Graph Theory\, and Combinatorial Optimization\, particularly the Traveli
 ng Salesperson Problem (TSP). I'll demonstrate how a photograph can be re
 presented as a collection of points and how optimization algorithms can c
 onnect these points using a single continuous path to create recognizable
  artwork. It explores how mathematical problems and algorithmic technique
 s can be applied to creative computing.\n---\nEvent Details: https://sund
