What is Computer Graphics?

CG: Knowledge -> image

CV: image -> knowledge

G for Generation

  • Rules -> Content

  • Laws of physics -> Content

  • Data -> Content

What can we generate?

  • Movies
  • games
  • design tools
  • Reality in the virutal space

What is Taichi?

A good programming lanugage for CG:

  • Productivity

    • friendly learnning curve
    • shorter code, higher performace

  • Portability

    • Multi-backend support

  • Performance

    • Optimized for bandwidth, locality and load balancing

  • Spatially sparse computation/Differentiable programming/Metaprogramming etc.

  • Open Source
