3D computer graphics can be divided into three basic phases: Modeling, Scene layout and Rendering. In the modeling phase, the 3d objects are created. The Scene layout phase involves the distribution of those objects, defining colors and textures, placing lights and adjusting cameras. The Rendering process is the final step of creating the actual 2D representation from the previously setup 3d scene. This process requires a large amount of prcessor power and sometimes is distributed over a network of computers normally called "Render Farm" where each machine renders only a part of an image. The resources in this section will show you how to master the exciting world of 3d rendering and animation and 3d game programming.

Into 3d With Form Z: Modeling, Lighting, and Renderingform.Z, first introduced in 1991 by Auto.Des.Sys, is a popular general-purpose three-dimensional modeling system that puts sophisticated solid, surface, and form-manipulating capabilities into the hands of the personal computer user. RenderZone, a component system, allows photorealistic rendering, and RadioZity allows depiction of sophisticated lighting effects. The advantage of form.Z, compared to AutoCAD, is that its 3D modeling capability is elegant, easier to use, personal-computer-friendly,... |
