3D Graphics Rendering and Terrain Modeling Overview www.getmyuni.com Technology and Historical Overview 3D Graphics Rendering and Terrain Modeling www.getmyuni.com Overview • Introduction to 3D Computer Graphics • OpenGL • SGI vs Linux • 3D Animation • Terrain Modeler: Project Status www.getmyuni.comIntroduction to 3d Computer Graphics • 3D computer graphics is the science, study, and method of projecting a mathematical representation of 3D objects onto a 2D image using visual tricks such as perspective and shading to simulate the eye's perception of those objects. www.getmyuni.com 3D Graphics and Physics • 3D graphic software is largely based on simulating physical interactions. • Generally: • Space relations. • Light interactions. • In particular cases: • Material properties. • Object Movement. www.getmyuni.com Goals of 3D computers graphics • Practical goal: Visualization - to generate images (usually of recognizable subjects) that are useful in some way. • Ideal goal: Photorealism - to produce images indistinguishable from photographs. www.getmyuni.com Components of a 3D Graphic System • 3D Modeling: • A way to describe the 3D world or scene, which is composed of mathematical representations of 3D objects called models. • 3D Rendering: • A mechanism responsible for producing a 2D image from 3D models. www.getmyuni.com 3D Modeling • Simple 3D objects can be modeled using mathematical equations operating in the 3- dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. • Example: the equation x2 + y2 + z2 = r2 is a model of a perfect sphere with radius r. www.getmyuni.com Modeling considerations • Pure mathematical equations to represent 3D objects requires a great deal of computing power • Impractical for real-time applications such as games or interactive simulations. www.getmyuni.com Alternatives: Polygon Models • Modeling objects by sampling only certain points on the object, retaining no data about the curvature in between • More efficient, but less detailed. www.getmyuni.com Alternatives: Texture Mapping • Technique used to add surface color detail without increasing the complexity of a model. • An image is mapped to the surface of a model. www.getmyuni.com From 3D models to 2D images • A 3D world or scene is composed of collection of 3d models • Three different coordinates systems (or spaces) are defined for different model related operations: •Object Space •World Space •Screen Space www.getmyuni.com Object Space • The coordinate system in which a specific 3D object is defined. • Each object usually have its own object space with the origin at the object's center • The object center is the point about which the object is moved and rotated. www.getmyuni.com World Space • World space is the coordinate system of the 3D world to be rendered. • The position and orientation of all the models are defined relative to the center of the world space. • The position and orientation of the virtual camera is also defined relative to the world space. www.getmyuni.com Screen Space • 2D space that represents the boundaries of the image to be produced. • Many optimization techniques are performed on screen space. www.getmyuni.com Mathematics of 3D graphics • 3D operations like translation, rotation and scaling are performed using matrices and lineal algebra. • Each operation is performed by multiplying the 3D vertices by a specific transformation matrix. www.getmyuni.com 3D Rendering • The process of taking the mathematical model of the world and producing the output image. • The core of the rendering process involves projecting the 3D models onto a 2D image plane. www.getmyuni.com Types of Rendering Algorithms • Two general approaches: • Pixel-oriented rendering: • Ray tracers • Polygon-oriented rendering: • Scan-line renderers www.getmyuni.com Ray tracers • Operates by tracing theoretical light rays as they intersect objects in the scene and the projection plane. www.getmyuni.com Ray tracer limitations • Processor intensive. A full ray tracer is impractical for real-time applications. • Does not take into account inter-reflections of diffuse light, resulting in hard shadows. www.getmyuni.com Radiosity • Technique that models the inter-reflections of diffuse light between surfaces of the world or environment. • Produces more photorealistic illumination and shadows. www.getmyuni.com Scan-line renderers • Operate on an object-by-object basis, directly drawing each polygon to the screen. • Requires all objects – including those modeled with continuous curvature – to be tessellated into polygons. • Polygons are eventually tessellated into pixels. www.getmyuni.com Illumination for scan-line renderers • Lighting and shading is calculated using the normal vector. • The color is linearly interpolated across the polygon surface. www.getmyuni.comCommon shading techniques scan- line renderer •Flat shading •Gouraud Shading •Phong Shading www.getmyuni.com Flat Shading • The color of the polygon is calculated at the center of the polygon by using the normal vector. • The complete polygon surface is uniformly lighted. www.getmyuni.com Gouraud Shading • A normal vector is calculated at each vertex. • Color is calculated for each vertex and interpolated across the polygon www.getmyuni.com Phong Shading • The normal vectors are interpolated across the surface of the polygon • The color of each point within the polygon is calculated from its corresponding normal vector www.getmyuni.comPolygon shading techniques compared www.getmyuni.com Viewing frustum • Segment of the 3D world to be rendered • Objects outside the viewing volume are ignored. www.getmyuni.com Hidden surface determination • Not all objects inside the viewing frustum are always visible from the point of view of the camera. • Not all polygons of a particular object are visible from the point of view of the camera. • Common Techniques • Painters Algorithm • Z-Buffering www.getmyuni.com Painter’s Algorithm • Polygon-oriented. • All the polygons are sorted by their depth and then displayed in this order. www.getmyuni.com Z-Buffering • Pixel-oriented. • When multiple objects overlap (from the point of view of the camera) on a particular pixel, only the value of the pixel closest to the camera is used. • Implemented by saving the depth value of each displayed pixel in a buffer, and comparing the depth of each new overlapping pixel against the value in the buffer. www.getmyuni.com Perspective Projection • Projects the 3D world to a 2D image www.getmyuni.com The Open Graphics Language www.getmyuni.comOpenGL – The Open Graphics Language • De facto Application Programming Interface (API) for cross-platform development of 3D graphics applications. • Implementations available for all major Operating Systems and hardware platforms. • Support for hardware accelerated 3D rendering. • Scalable, high-level, easy to use, well documented. www.getmyuni.com History of OpenGL • Originally released by SGI in the early 90s. • Descendant of IRIX GL. • Previous 3D graphics APIs were generally platform dependant. • Born out of market pressure for a cross-platform 3D API during the late 80s. www.getmyuni.com OpenGL - Code Example • How to define a triangle: glBegin (GL_TRIANGLES); glVertex (0,0,0); glVertex (1,1,0); glVertex (2,0,0); glEnd (); www.getmyuni.com Development with OpenGL • OpenGL API designed only for drawing images. • Auxiliary visual toolkits are required for developing OpenGL applications for modern windowed desktop environments. • Potential options: • GLUT, SDL, GTK+ www.getmyuni.com Potential Auxiliary Toolkits • GLUT: Specifically designed for developing OpenGL demo applications. • SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer): Library for multimedia and game development. • GTK+: General purpose toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces with OpenGL extensions available. www.getmyuni.com SGI vs Linux VS www.getmyuni.com SGI vs Linux • Linux is quickly becoming the preferred OS for OpenGL and 3D computer graphics development. • Today Linux dominates one of SGI’s most controlled market: Movie Special Effects. • Why? www.getmyuni.com SGI and Hollywood • Special effects production pipeline involves: • The graphic workstation – Used by the artists to create the models and textures used in the visual effects sequence. • The render-farm – A computer cluster dedicated for rendering the images or animations that form the visual effect sequence. www.getmyuni.com SGI’s Market dominance • SGI dominated the market of 3D graphics solutions during the 80s and 90s. • SGI hardware provided excellent performance for rendering calculations combined with a fast video subsystem. • The computer special effects market was locked-in to SGI’s hardware. • Most of the 3D rendering software was developed for IRIX (SGI’s UNIX OS). www.getmyuni.com SGI economics disadvantages • SGI’s workstations are expensive. • Historically FX houses purchased large amount of SGIs, which were amortized over several movies (usually 5 years). www.getmyuni.com The rise of Lintel (Linux+Intel) Causes: • The development of Linux (an open source UNIX clone for the PC) during the 90s. • The continuous performance increase of the Intel CPUs. • The development of consumer-level 3D acceleration hardware for the PC driven by the growing video game market. www.getmyuni.com Why the switch to Lintel? • Lintel platform provides a higher cost/performance ratio. • Linux is a POSIX complaint UNIX clone, porting the software from IRIX is trivial. • Linux is open-source and runs in multiple-architectures which greatly limits the possibility of vendor lock-in. www.getmyuni.com Lintel economic benefits • Using Lintel, a large portion

    11BegGameDev.qxd 9/20/04 5:20 PM Page 211 chapter 11 3D Graphics Fundamentals his chapter covers the basics of 3D graphics. You will learn the basic concepts so that you are at least aware of the key points in 3D programming. However, this Tchapter will not go into great detail on 3D mathematics or graphics theory, which are far too advanced for this book. What you will learn instead is the practical implemen- tation of 3D in order to write simple 3D games. You will get just exactly what you need to 211 11BegGameDev.qxd 9/20/04 5:20 PM Page 212 212 Chapter 11 ■ 3D Graphics Fundamentals write a simple 3D game without getting bogged down in theory. If you have questions about how matrix math works and about how 3D rendering is done, you might want to use this chapter as a starting point and then go on and read a book such as Beginning Direct3D Game Programming,by Wolfgang Engel (Course PTR). The goal of this chapter is to provide you with a set of reusable functions that can be used to develop 3D games. Here is what you will learn in this chapter: ■ How to create and use vertices. ■ How to manipulate polygons. ■ How to create a textured polygon. ■ How to create a cube and rotate it. Introduction to 3D Programming It’s a foregone conclusion today that everyone has a 3D accelerated video card. Even the low-end budget video cards are equipped with a 3D graphics processing unit (GPU) that would be impressive were it not for all the competition in this market pushing out more and more polygons and new features every year.

Current algo- 1 Migration from desktop application rithmic design environments are based on existing computer-aided design applications or building to the cloud. information modeling applications, such as AutoCAD, Rhinoceros 3D, or Revit, which, due to their complexity, fail to give architects the immediate feedback they need to explore algorithmic design. In addition, they do not address the current trend of moving applications to the cloud to improve their availability. To address these problems, we propose a software architecture for an algorithmic design inte- grated development environment (IDE), based on web technologies, that is more interactive than competing algorithmic design IDEs. Besides providing an intuitive editing interface which facilitates programming tasks for architects, its performance can be an order of magnitude faster than current aalgorithmic design IDEs, thus supporting real-time feedback with more complex algorithmic design programs. Moreover, our solution also allows architects to export the generated model to their preferred computer-aided design applications. This results in an algorithmic design environment that is accessible from any computer, while offering an interactive editing environment that inte- grates into the architect’s workflow. 72 INTRODUCTION programming languages that also support traceability between Throughout the years, computers have been gaining more ground the program and the model: when the user selects a component in the field of architecture.

  • Bonus Ch. 2 More Modeling Techniques
    Bonus Ch. 2 More Modeling Techniques When it comes to modeling in modo, the sky is the limit. This book is designed to show you all of the techniques available to you, through written word and visual examples on the DVD. This chapter will take you into another project, in which you’ll model a landscape. From there, you’ll texture it, and later you’ll add the environment. You’ll see how modo’s micro polygon displacement works and how powerful it is. From there, you’ll create a cool toy gun. The techniques used in this project will show you how to create small details that make the model come to life. Then, you’ll learn to texture the toy gun to look like real plastic. Building a Landscape Landscapes traditionally have been a chore for 3D artists. This is because to prop- erly create them, you need a lot of geometry. A lot of geometry means a lot of polygons, and a lot of polygons means a lot of render time. But the team at Luxology has introduced micro polygon displacement in modo 201/202, allow- ing you to create and work with simple objects, but render with millions of poly- gons. How is this possible? The micro polygon displacement feature generates additional polygons at render time. The goal is that finer details can be achieved without physically modeling them into the base object. You can then add to the details achieved through micro poly displacements with modo’s bump map capabilities and generate some terrific-looking models.
