Student Research Attributes

Just to get things going....some quick notes on various desirable traits for undergrads to possess for research in Computer Graphics. I will add to this...

General traits:

Affinity toward asynchronous self-directed learning. Resourceful problem solving abilities.

Aesthetics:

A grounding in the history and theory of computer graphics in the fine arts. Diverse exposure to narrative and non-narrative forms.

Technical:

Even without getting into expressions, particles, dynamics or scripting it would seem that most students would be well served from a background and aptitude for math and physics.
