Not time to delve
into the technical aspects of 3D graphics here, but later in course we’ll
come back to some issues such as:
|
|
--the pros and cons
of sampled 3D data vs. underlying
geometric models
|
|
--the pros and cons
of polygons/triangle vs. curves
|
|
--challenges of
large data sets (gathering, storing, viewing)
|
|
--methods of
visualizing 3D data
|
|
--use of texture
maps, bump maps, reflectance maps and other ways of creating realistic
materials.
