    3D Modeling and the Role of 3D Modeling in Our Life

    ISSN 2413-1032 COMPUTER SCIENCE 3D MODELING AND THE ROLE OF 3D MODELING IN OUR LIFE 1Beknazarova Saida Safibullaevna 2Maxammadjonov Maxammadjon Alisher o’g’li 2Ibodullayev Sardor Nasriddin o’g’li 1Uzbekistan, Tashkent, Tashkent University of Informational Technologies, Senior Teacher 2Uzbekistan, Tashkent, Tashkent University of Informational Technologies, student Abstract. In 3D computer graphics, 3D modeling is the process of developing a mathematical representation of any three-dimensional surface of an object (either inanimate or living) via specialized software. The product is called a 3D model. It can be displayed as a two-dimensional image through a process called 3D rendering or used in a computer simulation of physical phenomena. The model can also be physically created using 3D printing devices. Models may be created automatically or manually. The manual modeling process of preparing geometric data for 3D computer graphics is similar to plastic arts such as sculpting. 3D modeling software is a class of 3D computer graphics software used to produce 3D models. Individual programs of this class are called modeling applications or modelers. Key words: 3D, modeling, programming, unity, 3D programs. Nowadays 3D modeling impacts in every sphere of: computer programming, architecture and so on. Firstly, we will present basic information about 3D modeling. 3D models represent a physical body using a collection of points in 3D space, connected by various geometric entities such as triangles, lines, curved surfaces, etc. Being a collection of data (points and other information), 3D models can be created by hand, algorithmically (procedural modeling), or scanned. 3D models are widely used anywhere in 3D graphics.

    Manufacturing Data (NC Drill, Gerber, IPC Netlist, ODB++)

    A Parallel Systems Technical Note Manufacturing data (output files). Introduction To create an output package suitable for PCB Manufacturers you can create the files individually so that you have Gerber, NC drill and an IPC netlist or you can create one zipped file (called an ODB++) file which contains all the information required to manufacture a bare printed circuit board. You can also generate an IPC2581 which is a new file format that generates all the data in a single xml file that can be sent to fabricators, assemblers, test houses. This technical note describes how to generate all output files using PCB Editor required for bare board manufacture, either as separate files (RS274X Gerber, NC Drill and an IPC netlist), as one output file (ODB++ format) or using the IPC2581 export. NC Legend To generate the relevant NC Drill files using PCB Editor you need to do the following. If required you can create a drill table which will display the drill size, qty, type as specified in the Padstack defaults. To generate the drill table, use Manufacture > Create Drill table (OrCAD) or Manufacture > NC > Drill Legend (Allegro). The following GUI (default shown) gives the user the opportunity to define how the drill table will be displayed. Template File - Indicates the template to use to create the drill legend. Click the browse button to locate existing templates. Output Unit - Outputs the drill legend data in units that differ from those in the design. Library - Lets you view template files that are available via the NCDPATH variable that you set in User Preferences > Paths > Config.

    Photoplotter FP 3000 Instruction manual Note: Any inquiries related to photoplotter hardware or software should be addressed to an authorized distributor. Photoplotter software is subject to copyright. All the information here enclosed is subject to change due to constant innovation of the product. Date of the last change in this document: September 20, 2001. 1. Brief description: Photoplotter FP-3000 is a small, raster, low cost plotter which draws image on film by means of laser diode light. Film itself is fixed to the outer surface of rotating drum by means of masking tape. The source of laser diode light moves step by step along the rotating drum. Photoplotter is controlled by software installed on PC attached via its parallel port (PC is not a part of the photoplotter supply). An external, universal power unit is used to supply needed power (1x 110-240V/28V-2A for L model, 2 x 110-240V/24V-2.5A for XL model). There are two models of the photoplotter available – standard (drum diameter around 120mm) and XL (drum diameter around 150mm). The photoplotter software allows to read input files, to set output resolution and type of image (reverse, mirror, etc.) drawn on the film. When working with Gerber files, it is possible to check and modify used apertures (D-codes) and make simple film panelization for Gerber data and associated drill data. Viewing of Gerber files and conversion of various types of aparture files is possible in freeware program ViewMate (made by Lavenir), which is attached to the photoplotter software for your convenience (otherwise it may be downloaded from Lavenir‘s web page: www.lavenir.com).

    Animation Is a Process Where Characters Or Objects Are Created As Moving Images

    3D animation is a process where characters or objects are created as moving images. Rather than traditional flat or 2d characters, these 3D animation images give the impression of being able to move around characters and observe them from all angles, just like real life. 3D animation technology is relatively new and if done by hand would take thousands of hours to complete one short section of moving film. The employment of computers and software has simplified and accelerated the 3D animation process. As a result, the number of 3D animators as well as the use of 3D animation technology has increased. What will I learn in a 3D animation program? Your 3D animation program course content depends largely upon the 3D animation program in which you enroll. Some programs allow you to choose the courses that you are interested in. Other 3D animation programs are more structured and are intended to train you for a specific career or 3D animation role within the industry. You may learn about character creation, storyboarding, special effects, image manipulation, image capture, modeling, and various computer aided 3D animation design packages. Some 3D animation courses may cover different methods of capturing and recreating movement for 3D animation. You may learn "light suit" technology, in which suits worn by actors pinpoint the articulation of joints by a light. This if filmed from various different angles and used to replicate animated movement in a realistic way). What skills will I need for a 3D animation program? You'll need to have both creativity and attention to detail for a career in 3D animation.

    NI Ultiboard: Exporting Gerber Files

    Exporting Gerber Files from NI Ultiboard Overview When the design of a printed circuit board (PCB) is complete, the design needs to be sent to a PCB manufacturer to be physically fabricated. Rather than send the entire design file, manufacturers require an industry standard file format to be used in their fabrication process. The standard format is called a Gerber file. NI Ultiboard exports to the Gerber format. Gerber files effectively break down a board into its various layers providing computer controlled fabrication machines the exact design patterns to be drawn upon the fabricated board. The Gerber file contains information (on a layer-by-layer basis) of the board outline, land patterns (footprints), drilled holes, vias, copper routes, and any other information that is required by the board manufacturer to create a board. This article dicusses how to export a Gerber file from NI Ultiboard, and investigate the various options in the export dialog box. Introduction Exporting a file refers to taking a CAD representation of a PCB (as can be seen in your Ultiboard file) and producing an output in a format that can be understood by the fabrication equipment at the board manufacturer. There are many different manufacturing techniques used to produce PCBs and Ultiboard can produce a wide variety of outputs to meet these needs. Export and Manufacturing It is important to talk to your production house and identify all the files and formatting information they need to support their manufacturing process. You can export a file in the following formats: • Gerber photoplotter 274X or 274D • DXF • 3D DXF • 3D IGES • IPC-D-356A Netlist • NC drill • SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) You can also export text files that contain: • Board Statistics • Part Centroids • Bill of Materials You can also create reports on: • Copper Amounts • Test Points • Layer Stackup ©National Instruments.

    Appendix a Basic Mathematics for 3D Computer Graphics

    Appendix A Basic Mathematics for 3D Computer Graphics A.1 Vector Operations (),, A vector v is a represented as v1 v2 v3 , which has a length and direction. The location of a vector is actually undefined. We can consider it is parallel to the line (),, (),, from origin to a 3D point v. If we use two points A1 A2 A3 and B1 B2 B3 to (),, represent a vector AB, then AB = B1 – A1 B2 – A2 B3 – A3 , which is again parallel (),, to the line from origin to B1 – A1 B2 – A2 B3 – A3 . We can consider a vector as a ray from a starting point to an end point. However, the two points really specify a length and a direction. This vector is equivalent to any other vectors with the same length and direction. A.1.1 The Length and Direction The length of v is a scalar value as follows: 2 2 2 v = v1 ++v2 v3 . (EQ 1) 378 Appendix A The direction of the vector, which can be represented with a unit vector with length equal to one, is: ⎛⎞v1 v2 v3 normalize()v = ⎜⎟--------,,-------- -------- . (EQ 2) ⎝⎠v1 v2 v3 That is, when we normalize a vector, we find its corresponding unit vector. If we consider the vector as a point, then the vector direction is from the origin to that point. A.1.2 Addition and Subtraction (),, (),, If we have two points A1 A2 A3 and B1 B2 B3 to represent two vectors A and B, then you can consider they are vectors from the origin to the points.
