intro¶

Pixel = Picture Element Three fundamental Tasks

• Modeling
• Animation(Simulating)
• Rendering(displaying)

Modeling¶

Digital Representation of the world + Digital Images + 3D Geometric Objects (Graphics) + Symbolic Descriptions

Three important and complex attributes + Shape + Visual look or appearance + Dynamic behaviors due to interactions with other elements of the world

Simulating the behaviors of objects in the world¶

Demo

Rendering the world¶

I/O of computer graphics + input + Object(shape,material,lighting) + output + Image:array of pixels
