This course is an introductory look into the Interactive Creative Environment, or ICE, so you can learn essential terms and definitions and build a solid foundation in computer graphics. We'll start off by covering what ICE is and what it is used for. We'll then take a look at working in the ICE tree so you learn how to use ICE in your own projects.
