I actually wrote about this over a decade ago, but I found myself thinking about this once again, the fact that, in 1972, the ...

Today we’re going to discuss how 3D graphics are created and rendered for a 2D screen. From polygon count and meshes, to lighting and texturing, there are a lot of considerations in building the 3D ...

3D computer graphics (in contrast to 2D computer graphics) are graphics that use a three-dimensional representation of geometric data that is stored in the computer for the purposes of performing ...

A new advancement in AI technology is offering the potential to revolutionize the way we capture and edit real-life objects in 3D. Researchers at Simon Fraser University (SFU) in Canada have ...

Why it matters: In a world dominated by powerful GPUs from Nvidia and AMD, one self-taught coder is demonstrating that it's possible to create impressive 3D graphics from scratch. Alex Fish has ...

Scientists have created new types of 2D nanostructured surfaces which appear as realistic 3D objects – including shading and shadows – using nano-engineering techniques. When light hits an object, the ...

We take hyper-realistic 3D scanned and rendered cars for granted today. They're in movies, video games, fake spy shots, everywhere. The fact that it can be done at all still feels like science-fiction ...
