To what extent are we going to be able to reproduce either of these graphics by the end of the semester? They are really cool but also seem very challenging. But obviously I have no idea how complex the math gets.

These are really cool! While we won't be reproducing these exact videos (since these specific techniques are a little more involved), the assignments will get you to implement similar (but simpler) graphics. For example, in assignment 3, we will learn how to render out photorealistic images of an environment to make pretty images, and, in assignment 4, we will implement a technique that creates waves that ripple across a mesh. Of course, there is quite a bit of ground that we need to cover in the course before getting to these specific assignments, but it is completely doable. :-)
Is the bunny demo done with Ricci flow?
This video is making use of Keenan Crane's formulation of Willmore Flow for triangulated surfaces.
