Details
In the context of an oral examination, tasks are used to check whether the problem from the field of computer animation can be analysed and solved using suitable methods. In this context it will also be examined whether the necessary mathematical, algorithmic and theoretical basics can be explained.
Minimum standard
Explanation of the most important terms, methods and definitions that were conveyed in the LV.
Solving simple theoretical problems in writing using the appropriate notation.
Programming of smaller simple code sequences for the generation of computer animation.
