  • 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.

  • 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.

Many tools come with multiple functions. We put a primary category name behind a tool name in the alphabetic index, and put a tool name into multiple categories in the categorized index according to its functions. A.I. Graphics Tools Listed by Categories We have no intention of rating any of the tools. Many tools in the same category are not necessarily of the same quality or at the same capacity level.

  • 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.

  • 3D Computer Animation Course Development
    3D COMPUTER ANIMATION COURSE DEVELOPMENT By Shaun McKenna B.Ed., University of Calgary, 1988 A Project submitted to the Faculty of Education of the University of Lethbridge in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of MASTER OF EDUCATION Lethbridge, Alberta April 2001 Abstract Over the last ten years a new industry has grown and developed as the world's technology became faster, more powerful and affordable. This industry is 3D Computer Animation. Whether you watch movies or television, read magazines or newspapers, it is a rare day when you do not see 3D computer images of one type or another. While post secondary institutions have recognized the need to offer training in this industry, the public school system has almost all but ignored it. The cost of developing 3D Computer Animation programs in schools is now at an affordable level. As more schools in Alberta start offering 3D Computer Animation as part of the Career and Technology Studies program concerns become evident. One concern is that there are few teachers who are trained in this area and the other concern is that the curriculum and credits for a program of this type is almost nonexistent. This project addresses these concerns. This document outlines objectives for teachers who wish to teach 3D Computer Animation and would like to know what skills need to be taught. Four proposed introductory courses for the Career and Technology Studies program are presented. The author intends to approach Alberta Learning with completed courses for their consideration and acceptance as official Career and Technology Studies courses.
