The class, directed by Matt Lewis of the Advanced Center for Computing and Design at the Ohio State University, "provides a study of advanced issues and mathematical models used in computer graphics to mimic the physical behavior of light and appearance of surfaces in the generation of three-dimensional CG imagery." Personal goals involve the understanding of how the cross-disciplinarity of technologically oriented fields of design and art (such as animation and virtual environments) impact the discipline of architecture. Most of the students graduating from the program have their choice of large production companies (such as Pixar, Dreamworks, Sony Pictures, etc) to work for, often such positions as Technical Director. The body of expertise in computing and design technology is something few programs or universities have at thier disposal. My work will fall under a Graduate Interdisciplinary Specialization in the Fine Arts as a Master's candidate for Architecture.
