Generating 3D scenes has been expensive and time-consuming. Now, thanks to new approaches, 3D capture of the world is progressing at stunning speed.

Today we’re going to discuss how 3D graphics are created and rendered for a 2D screen.

It’d be easy to get the impression that realtime 3D is really coming of age. For a long time, all computer graphics looked like – well – Tron, at best, and often not nearly as slick.

3D computer graphics (in contrast to 2D computer graphics) are graphics that utilize a three-dimensional representation of geometric data that is stored in the computer for the purposes of ...

Lectures cover fundamental techniques of computer graphics such as 2D and 3D viewing, transformations, drawing lines and polygons, clipping and color to advanced techniques such as lighting, shadows, ...

In films, video games, virtual reality environments and other computer graphics arenas, lighting is key in achieving accurate depictions of our physical world. Computing lighting that looks real ...

By the 1990s, real-time 3D graphics were becoming increasingly common in arcade, computer and console games, leading to an increased demand for hardware-accelerated 3D graphics.

For example, users can feed the model with video from tennis matches and then transfer this lifelike motion to a 3D tennis-playing character.
