  2. Z-fighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-fighting

    As the distance between near and far clip planes increases, and in particular the near plane is selected near the eye, the greater the likelihood exists that z-fighting between primitives will occur. With large virtual environments inevitably there is an inherent conflict between the need to resolve visibility in the distance and in the ...

  3. Freeform surface modelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeform_surface_modelling

    Freeform surface modelling is a technique for engineering freeform surfaces with a CAD or CAID system.. The technology has encompassed two main fields. Either creating aesthetic surfaces (class A surfaces) that also perform a function; for example, car bodies and consumer product outer forms, or technical surfaces for components such as gas turbine blades and other fluid dynamic engineering ...

  4. SolidWorks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SolidWorks

    SolidWorks (stylized as SOLIDWORKS) is a brand within Dassault Systèmes that develops and markets software for solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided engineering (CAE), 3D CAD design, collaboration, analysis, and product data management. [2] The company introduced one of the first 3D CAD applications designed to run on a ...

  5. Parallel curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_curve

    Distance parameter may be negative, too. In this case one gets a parallel surface on the opposite side of the surface (see similar diagram on the parallel curves of a circle). One easily checks: a parallel surface of a plane is a parallel plane in the common sense and the parallel surface of a sphere is a concentric sphere.

  6. Distance from a point to a plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_from_a_point_to_a...

    The point on the plane in terms of the original coordinates can be found from this point using the above relationships between and , between and , and between and ; the distance in terms of the original coordinates is the same as the distance in terms of the revised coordinates.

  7. Isometric projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_projection

    Let's first imagine a cube with sides of length 2, and its center at the axis origin, which means all its faces intersect the axes at a distance of 1 from the origin. We can calculate the length of the line from its center to the middle of any edge as √ 2 using Pythagoras' theorem .

    The last image we have of Patrick Cagey is of his first moments as a free man. He has just walked out of a 30-day drug treatment center in Georgetown, Kentucky, dressed in gym clothes and carrying a Nike duffel bag. The moment reminds his father of Patrick’s graduation from college, and he takes a picture of his son with his cell phone.

  9. Viewing frustum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viewing_frustum

    A view frustum The appearance of an object in a pyramid of vision When creating a parallel projection, the viewing frustum is shaped like a box as opposed to a pyramid.. In 3D computer graphics, a viewing frustum [1] or view frustum [2] is the region of space in the modeled world that may appear on the screen; it is the field of view of a perspective virtual camera system.
