Introduction

This piece is meant to be used for an introductory demo to 3D technologies, in particular with respect to 3D contents on the Web, 3D applications that use the Internet, and 3D models that share over the Internet.

3D and the Internet

Introduction to computer graphics

Three main stages:

  1. Modelling
  2. Adding animation, interactivity and inserting into a scene
  3. Rendering (displaying)

Modelling principles

Animation, interactivity and scenes

Application areas

Below we show a few examples of application areas, several of which may share the same technologies.

Industrial design

CAD/CAM

Architecture

Movies

“Computer-generated imagery (CGI) is the application of the field of computer graphics or, more specifically, 3D computer graphics to special effects in art, films, television programs, commercials, simulators and simulation generally, and printed media. The visual scenes may be either dynamic or static.” (Wikipedia)

  • First movie that used 3D was Futureworld (1976).


Medecine

Several areas:

  • Medical imagery
  • Anatomical models for training
  • Computer-assisted surgery


Virtual worlds and Games

Data visualization
