Some possible topics

1. Color blending – What happens when there are transparent objects in your scene?
2. Lighting models – What are the common models? Where and when are they used?
3. Texturing – How can one sample from a texture? What kinds of artefacts may appear?
4. Curves – Why are they important in CG? What about curved surfaces?
5. Global illumination – Pick one or compare different methods: Radiosity, path tracing, photon mapping.
6. Realtime realistic rendering – Provide an overview of the common methods or pick some effect (light, wetness, fog, fur / hair, skin) and find out how it's rendered realistically in real time.
7. Non-realistic rendering – Where is it used and how is it achieved? Realtime vs prerendered?
8. Tessellation – How can this be done in OpenGL 4?
9. Post-processing effects – What effects are there? When and how are they used?
10. Procedural generation (PCG wiki) – Where and how is it used? How to apply procedural textures to procedurally generated meshes?
