How a 3d model of a clitoris can lead to your personal sexual revolution

It seems that there are more uses for 3d models (apart from gaming , movies and digital 3d representation of objects) that we have thought of. It seems that there is no way to get pleasure from a tool you don’t even know you have, or do not even know how it looks like. Therefore a… Continue Reading How a 3d model of a clitoris can lead to your personal sexual revolution

What Is Cloth Modeling?

Cloth modeling is a form of 3D modeling that allows computer graphics programs to create the appearance of clothing on 3D models, or fabrics within the programs. It is a crucial part in creating organic items such as clothing for 3D models created to appear human, or items within the home, or within the interior… Continue Reading What Is Cloth Modeling?

What Are Texture Maps?

A texture map is used to create a unique surface upon the exterior of a 3D models. It could be compared to wrapping a box, or using other forms of paper, and material to completely cover the exterior of that box. Texture mapping allows not colors, but textures to be applied to the surface of… Continue Reading What Are Texture Maps?

What Are 3D Models?

A 3D model is a representation of any three-dimensional object using computer graphics software. A 3D Model can be displayed virtually as a 2D image through a process called 3D rendering or used in a 3D computer simulation, animation, or visualization. Creating a 3D model is often a time consuming and an expensive process. Therefore,… Continue Reading What Are 3D Models?

Why Use 3D Images?

“A 3D digital image is worth a million words” In today’s world, inventors need to be able to communicate their ideas in highly realistic digital formats to gain maximum exposure. They need to quickly and easily describe the benefits of their ideas to be able to license or commercialize it. Flat Pyramid provides a competitive… Continue Reading Why Use 3D Images?

History Of Computer Graphics

The field of computer graphics has developed alongside the development of the digital computer. In 1959, MIT’s Lincoln Labs TX-2 computer gave birth to the field of interactive computer graphics. By the mid 1960’s major corporations, such as TRW, Lockheed, General Electric and Sperry Rand, had already started research and development in computer graphics. IBM’s… Continue Reading History Of Computer Graphics

3D Modeling

3D Modeling is the creation, manipulation, and storage of geometric objects to represent objects that are all around us or virtual objects. The process of 3d modeling begins with the use of specialized 3d modeling software. The 3D artist develops a mathematical, wireframe representation of the object using specialized software. The final product is called… Continue Reading 3D Modeling

Leveraging 3D Models On A Website

Previously, whenever a company required 3D models they would have to hire a 3D modeler or 3D company to create it for them. This often resulted in a time intensive and expensive process. Most of the items created ironically, already existed in the hard drives of some 3d modeler somewhere in the world. With the current… Continue Reading Leveraging 3D Models On A Website

How To Smooth The Edges Of A Polygon Model

Polygon models which have surfaces that appear curves are actually created with tiny series of lines. These lines can be smoothed in the rendering process making the lines appear smoothed, and authentic. Many created 3D models are created from these series of tiny lines, but have the appearance of curved surfaces such as furniture, or… Continue Reading How To Smooth The Edges Of A Polygon Model
