  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. Parallax mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax_mapping

    Parallax mapping is essentially a method by which rough or uneven surfaces on a 2D texture can be "pulled out" to take on the appearance of a 3D surface. Technically, this is implemented by displacing the texture coordinates at a point on the rendered polygon by a function of the view angle in tangent space (the angle relative to the surface ...

  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

    For curves embedded in 3D surfaces the offset may be taken along a geodesic. [25] Another way to generalize it is (even in 2D) to consider a variable distance, e.g. parametrized by another curve. [22] One can for example stroke (envelope) with an ellipse instead of circle [22] as it is possible for example in METAFONT. [26]

  6. Parallax scrolling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax_scrolling

    Parallax scrolling is a technique in computer graphics where background images move past the camera more slowly than foreground images, creating an illusion of depth in a 2D scene of distance. [1] The technique grew out of the multiplane camera technique used in traditional animation [ 2 ] since the 1930s.

  7. Tessellation (computer graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tessellation_(computer...

    A simple tessellation pipeline rendering a smooth sphere from a crude cubic vertex set using a subdivision method. In computer graphics, tessellation is the dividing of datasets of polygons (sometimes called vertex sets) presenting objects in a scene into suitable structures for rendering.

  8. Inverse kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_kinematics

    Forward vs. inverse kinematics. In computer animation and robotics, inverse kinematics is the mathematical process of calculating the variable joint parameters needed to place the end of a kinematic chain, such as a robot manipulator or animation character's skeleton, in a given position and orientation relative to the start of the chain.

  9. Isometric projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_projection

    The black dimensions are the true lengths as found in an orthographic projection. The red dimensions are used when drawing with the isometric drawing method. The same 3D shapes drawn in isometric projection would appear smaller; an isometric projection will show the object's sides foreshortened, by approximately 80%.
