== Announcements ==

 * '''Assignment 2 is available [wiki:Assignment2 here]. It is due Tue Apr 25 at midnight.'''

 * '''PatHanrahan will hold office hours Monday 8pm-9:30pm in Sweet Hall.'''

 * Check out the kd-tree [http://graphics.stanford.edu/courses/cs348b-06/lectures/acceleration/presentation2.mpg video] I showed in class. This video was made by Alexander Reshetov of Intel Labs in Russia.

 * Instructions for building PBRT on Linux (the 'myth' machines in Sweet) and on Windows using Visual Studio 2003 are available on the ["PBRTInfo"] page.

 * For students building on windows, I've placed an exrtotiff binary [http://graphics.stanford.edu/courses/cs348b-06/utils/exrtotiff.zip here].

 * The slides for each lecture are in the wiki. There is a running assignment to comment on the lectures. You are
 required to enter 1 extended comment per lecture within 1 week of the lecture. See ["Guidelines"] for what we are
 looking for in the comments.

 * If you are taking the course for credit, pick a wikiname (my wikiname is PatHanrahan) and create a login
 account. Then familiarize yourself with how to use this wiki. Finally, add yourself to the ["Participants"]
 by editing that page (you can only edit pages when logged in).
