Study Notes
Computer Graphics Basics
- Fractal graphics is NOT a type of computer graphics.
3D Modeling and Rendering
- The process of generating an image from a 3D model is called rendering.
Graphics Fundamentals
- A pixel is a single point on a 2D image, while a vertex is a point in 3D space that defines a shape or object.
Camera and Projection
- The camera matrix is used to determine the camera's position and orientation in 3D space.
- Perspective projection creates a realistic view with foreshortening, while orthographic projection creates a 2D view without foreshortening.
Graphics Types
- Raster graphics are composed of pixels, while vector graphics are composed of lines and curves defined by mathematical equations.
3D Graphics Purpose
- The purpose of 3D graphics in computer graphics systems is to create realistic and interactive 3D environments and objects.
Computer Animation
- The main purpose of computer animation in computer graphics systems is to create motion and change in 3D scenes and objects.
Computer Hardware
- The central processing unit (CPU) in a computer graphics system is responsible for executing instructions and handling calculations.
Projection Types
- Perspective projection creates a realistic view with foreshortening, while orthographic projection creates a 2D view without foreshortening, and is often used in technical and architectural drawings.
