Realtime 3D graphics programming using the Quake3 engine

We present a lab assignment that accompanies a complete module called Real-time Graphics . The students task is to get familiar with content creation and programming a (previously) commercial 3D engine. In a first task, students have to create 3D content, which is integrated into the Quake3 engine.

We present the assignment and report on experiences that we have gained
