In spring 2018, the class produced over 60 team projects. Teams had broad flexibility over 4 weeks to investigate a topic of their interest, and final projects ranged over topics that included rendering, simulation, geometric modeling and processing, imaging and machine learning. The projects below were selected as Showcase Winners, Artistic Mentions, and Honorable Mentions. Thanks to all the students for your hard work, and a special congratulations to the teams recognized below.
