Procedural modeling is a computer graphics technique used to create 3D models and textures from sets of rules. It is often used when it would be too cumbersome to create a 3D model using generic 3D modelers, or when more specialized tools are required. Procedural models often exhibit database amplification, meaning that large scenes can be generated from a much smaller number of rules.

The course delves into the core mathematical principles and methods used for computer animation and motion simulation. It explores physics-based simulation methods to model shape and motion, like particle systems, rigid bodies, deformable models, etc. It also covers the animation of natural phenomena and virtual characters. Additional topics such as data-driven animation methods and real-time interactive methods are discussed.
