I'm a graduate student wanting to focus on computer graphics. I am in the Introduction to Computer Graphics course and am starting to think about the semester project. I'm wanting to do something that will take a couple of months but that I can use as a look what I did on interviews/resume.

At this point I have no idea what would impress a potential employer since I have little knowledge of computer graphics right now and everything I'm learning impresses me.


I'm wanting to see if anyone on this board has any good ideas of what would make a good computer graphics project?

I've thought about doing water simulation in some way, but I don't know if that is too easy or not.

The whole point of the project is to learn something that you didn't learn in class and being challenging on the computer graphics side of the project. So a 2D game probably wouldn't be a good choice and in some instances a 3d one wouldn't either.

Oh yeah, I don't know if this information should play into the equation but the type of jobs that I'm attracted to the most and hope to land when I graduate have to do with creating graphics tools for computer animation studios. I would love to work for a place like Pixar or Dreamworks basically.

Thanks to all that reply
