5 2d Graphics and 3d Graphics Report
INTRODUCTION
3D computer graphics, sometimes called CGI, 3-D-CGI or three-
dimensional computer graphics, are graphics that use a three-
dimensional representation of geometric data (often Cartesian)
that is stored in the computer for the purposes of performing
calculations and rendering digital images, usually 2D images but
sometimes 3D images. The resulting images may be stored for
viewing later (possibly as an animation) or displayed in real time
3D COORDINATES SYSTEM
TRANSFORMATION
A three-dimensional (3D) conformal
coordinate transformation, combining
axes rotations, scale change and origin
shifts is a practical mathematical model
of the relationships between different 3D
coordinate system
VIEWING AND PROJECTION IN 3D
SPACE
A 3D projection (or graphical projection) is a design technique used
to display a three-dimensional (3D) object on a two-dimensional
(2D) surface. These projections rely on visual perspective and aspect
analysis to project a complex object for viewing capability on a
simpler plane.
