2D or 3D coordinates representing a position in space. Color. Typically diffuse or specular RGB values, either representing surface colour or precomputed lighting information. Reflectance. of the surface at the vertex, e.g. specular exponent, metallicity, fresnel values. Texture coordinates. Also known as UV coordinates, these control the ...
The history of motion graphics is closely related to the history of computer graphics, as the new developments of computer-generated graphics led to wider use of motion design not based on optical film animation. The term motion graphics originated with digital video editing in computing, perhaps to keep pace with newer technology. Graphics for ...
Cartographic design or map design is the process of crafting the appearance of a map, applying the principles of design and knowledge of how maps are used to create a map that has both aesthetic appeal and practical function. [1] It shares this dual goal with almost all forms of design; it also shares with other design, especially graphic ...
The 3D model can be physically created using 3D printing devices that form 2D layers of the model with three-dimensional material, one layer at a time. Without a 3D model, a 3D print is not possible. 3D modeling software is a class of 3D computer graphics software used to produce 3D models. Individual programs of this class are called modeling ...
BUILDER produced plan and shaded perspectives that popularised computer-aided-design in architecture. [19] [20] Donald also wrote the CALYPSO module for the commercial Odyssey project [18] and worked on the GLIB/LINGUIST [21] table-driven language system in collaboration with Nick Chrisman and Jim Dougenik, which was based on automata theory ...
A category of fine art, graphic art covers a broad range of visual artistic expression, typically two-dimensional, i.e. produced on a flat surface. [1] The term usually refers to the arts that rely more on line, color or tone, especially drawing and the various forms of engraving; [2] it is sometimes understood to refer specifically to ...
In computer graphics, level of detail ( LOD) refers to the complexity of a 3D model representation. [1] [2] [3] LOD can be decreased as the model moves away from the viewer or according to other metrics such as object importance, viewpoint-relative speed or position. LOD techniques increase the efficiency of rendering by decreasing the workload ...
