3D Vector Images

1. 3D Vector Images



































3D Vector Images

2. Moving to the 3rd Dimension

  • Vector-based imaging can incorporate 3rd Dimension
  • 3D Modelling
  • Ray-Tracing


































3D Vector Images

3. 3D Modeling

  • Use a scene definition environment
  • Describe physical model
  • Use 3D Geometries (box, cylinder, sphere)
  • Define surfaces on geometries
  • Define lighting and camera
  • Take a 'snapshot'


































3D Vector Images

4. Common 3D software packages

  • Maya
  • 3D Studio Max
  • Lightwave
  • Moray (freeware)
  • Blender (freeware)


































3D Vector Images

5. 3D languages

  • VRML: web-based standard
  • X3D: XML update of VRML
  • Java3D: 3D classes in Java Language
  • POV-RAY: Scene-definition language
