• W206178833 abstract "First there were 2D graphics with rotations and scaling. Then there were 3D wireframe images with multiple views for perspective. next step? Rendering, the transformation of a wireframe to a photorealistic image, complete with textures, lighting and, in some cases, animation. 3D rendering and animation technology on the PC level is in its infancy. programs themselves have been around for roughly ten years, but required mainframe computers to run. With the advent of powerful 3D software for the everyman (i.e. on a platform most can now afford), new applications are blossoming. CAD isn't just for drafting anymore. Product development, for example, now has an entirely new meaning. As Paul Mailhot, the educational programs director at CADKEY explains, previously a manufacturer would spend large amounts of money making prototypes of new tennis rackets, for example, only to have three models scrapped. Now a mechanical engineer or designer can create photorealistic images of the rackets with rendering software, have two or three approved and then make prototypes of those models. Cost savings are enormous. * Who's Using What At Texas Tech University, Jim Rawlings has been incorporating Big D Rendering Software from Graphics Software, Inc. in his Architecture 4353 course for the past year and a half. program imports .DXF files from AutoCAD and othe rprograms, attaching textures to a building's surface, adding sunlight or artificial light, and even calculating for the time of day or season of the year. class is designed for students familiar with AutoCAD and 3D modeling. Rawlings teaches students what Big D looks for in a drawing to render it. The hard part is drawing the object properly, he comments. Graduate-level architecture students use Big D to render their thesis projects. Each student usually completes four or five renders by the end of the semester. The final product is as good as anything I've ever seen, Rawlings asserts. A set of textures comes with the program, plus Big D will edit its own textures to create variations. Strata Vision 3d Version 2.0 from Strata, Inc. performs spline-path animations of 3D objects, offering modeling, scene compilation and photorealistic rendering. Graduate students at MIT use the Mac-based program in Models, Modeling and Making. They start with an idea, render it, then build a physical model. Instructor Ed Levine describes Strata Vision 3d as very easy to learn...transparent...[and] students pick it up easily. Levine has employed the program for two years, integrating it into undergraduate courses as well. We use rendering to understand how light and texture mix and affect our experiences, he says. * Multi-Disciplinary Uses director of the computer graphics center at the University of Cincinnati in the college of design, architecture, art and planning, Kevin Reagh explains that Advanced Visualizer and Visualizer Paint from Wavefront Technologies, Inc., promote an exiting collaboration between diverse disciplines. For some schools the visualization is an ends unto itself, like for the art school. For others, like architecture, visualization is a means to an end. Reagh is beta testing the program's SPARCstation-compatible version with a control group of 15 independent-study students from each discipline. With this mixed approach, the fine artists can see what the urban planners are doing. He is most impressed with Visualizer Paint's ability to be used straight from the box or customized through the use of C code. I can write my own bells and whistles, Reagh explains. Currently each school uses the center to teach basic concepts in computer graphics to their students. Reagh proposes that instead, the center will offer a core set of computer graphics courses from which departments can choose. Discipline-specific courses will be taught by each school's instructors. …" @default.
