Reading Assignment 2: Read "A Characterization of Ten Hidden-Surface Algorithms" by Sutherland, Sproull, and Shumacker. Choose one object-space method and one image-space method from the ten. Write a paper, in the form of a web page, describing how your chosen methods work. Compare and contrast your two methods with each other and with the Z-buffer (their "brute force") algorithm. You'll get to implement two of these later so study them with that in mind. Due 6 February.
