I am a grad student at GWU. I'm trying to learn as much as possible about computer graphics - programming and theory - this summer to ready myself for an intensive graphics course taught at GWU this summer. I'm basing my study on the book "Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice", by Foley and VanDam. This book is used for cs185 and cs219 (I think), at GWU - for those of you that are familar with the GWU curriculum. Beyond the initial graphics concepts I'm very interested in 3-D modeling and 3-D animation. The course I am preparing for in the fall is a Computer Animation course. Anyway, back to this summer's studies, I am using SRGP and SPHIGS which are simplified graphics packages discussed in detail in the Foley and VanDam book. My problem is that I'm new to graphics, fairly new to C and I'm trying to learn this at home on my 386 machine using Borland C++ which I just got. It would be great if I had some occasional help (say once or twice a week), to get past obstacles. The person I'm looking for ideally should have: 1) Taken some of the graphics courses at GWU or somewhere else at the graduate level. 2) Be familar with SRGP and SPHIGS - or some other similar graphics package like SUNPhigs or GKS. 3) Be well versed in C. I live in DC and am flexible on the times we could meet. The time period I'm looking at is over the next 2-3 months. The rate is negotiable.
