v. t. e. Computer-generated imagery ( CGI) is a specific-technology or application of computer graphics for creating or improving images in art, printed media, simulators, videos and video games. These images are either static (i.e. still images) or dynamic (i.e. moving images). CGI both refers to 2D computer graphics and (more frequently) 3D ...
Vector graphics are a form of computer graphics in which visual images are created directly from geometric shapes defined on a Cartesian plane, such as points, lines, curves and polygons. The associated mechanisms may include vector display and printing hardware, vector data models and file formats, as well as the software based on these data ...
Normal mapping used to re-detail simplified meshes. This normal map is encoded in object space. In 3D computer graphics, normal mapping, or Dot3 bump mapping, is a texture mapping technique used for faking the lighting of bumps and dents – an implementation of bump mapping.
Computer graphics studies manipulation of visual and geometric information using computational techniques. It focuses on the mathematical and computational foundations of image generation and processing rather than purely aesthetic issues. Computer graphics is often differentiated from the field of visualization, although the two fields have ...
An archaeological find in Mexico revealed a stone slab with 123 hieroglyphic symbols that, in part, describe the founding of a town in 569 AD.
Texture mapping. Mapping a two-dimensional texture onto a 3D model. 1: 3D model without textures. 2: Same model with textures. Texture mapping[ 1][ 2][ 3] is a method for mapping a texture on a computer-generated graphic. "Texture" in this context can be high frequency detail, surface texture, or color .
Rendering or image synthesis is the process of generating a photorealistic or non-photorealistic image from a 2D or 3D model by means of a computer program. [citation needed] The resulting image is referred to as a rendering. Multiple models can be defined in a scene file containing objects in a strictly defined language or data structure.
If this date didn’t fall smack dab in the middle of the August Mercury retrograde, we’d swear the DNC planning committee consulted an astrologer when picking the date. Here’s hoping they ...
