- The process of 3D Visualization involves several key stages:
- Storing 3D Models in Memory:
- 3D objects are represented as meshes made of vertices, edges, and faces.
- These meshes are stored as arrays of coordinates and attributes like color, texture, and material properties.
- Rendering the Scene:
- The graphics engine reads the 3D model data from memory and projects it onto a 2D plane (the screen).
- This involves complex calculations, such as transformations, lighting, and shading.
- Displaying the Image: The final 2D image is stored in a frame buffer and sent to the display device.
- Storing 3D Models in Memory:
The quality and performance of 3D visualization depend on how efficiently data is stored and processed in memory.
Techniques used in 3D-visualization
Exam technique- It is not necessary to fully remember each of the techniques listed below.
- Rather, be familiar with each of the techniques and what they are for exam or test preparation.
- Wire-framing is a technique used to represent 3D objects using only their edges and vertices.
