چکیده
Virtual Campus is a shared virtual model of Nanyang Technological University. It is a great multimedia place for electronic education and fun, research and games, meeting new friends, and immersion in campus life. It can be accessed from any Internet connected computer running MS Windows. In this place you can be anything: choose a fancy look, or turn yourself into a sports car, spooky creature, insect, or sparkling cloud. Visitors may wander around or fly, go to offices or student hostels, attend electronic lectures, or just chat with other visitors or robots. One of the places of the Virtual Campus is Collaborative Shape Modelling Hands-On Experience. Being a part of the computer graphics course, it teaches students how 3D shapes and their colours can be easily defined with parametric and implicit functions.
