Chapter 10, Problem 19CRP
Program Plan Intro

Modeling:

  • It is a process in which a scene graph is created by usage of polygonal meshes that represents different objects on set.
  • It includes mathematical principles, it attempts to maximize details.
  • The mesh can be loaded into at same time based on constraints of speed and storage.
  • It uses different algorithms for generating homogenous objects.

Rendering:

  • It is process of determining the way the objects appears in scene graph when projected onto plane.
  • It involves determining light surface interaction to determine manner in which light is refracted, reflected or absorbed at object’s surface.
  • It determines the objects that would be visible at center of projection and those hidden by other objects.
  • It determines shading required at given point on surface through interpolation of intensity and edges of polygonal patches.

Explanation of Solution

Computationally intense task:

  • Rendering denotes a more computationally intense task among both of them.
  • It involves determining light surface interaction to determine manner in which light is refracted, reflected or absorbed at object’s surface...

Explanation of Solution

Creative task:

  • Rendering denotes a more creative task among both of them.
  • It involves determining light surface interaction to determine manner in which light is refracted, reflected or absorbed at object’s surface...

What do the two equations do in the image? Please explain in plain English and with Python or Java example code (or any programming language) if possible and/or provide usage examples with step-by-step explanations for the solution(s). Thanks in advance.
In Task 2, you try to look inside the generative process. What can you say about it? Select one: a. The generative process appears slightly chaotic and is not immediately clear for a human to interpret. b. The model starts with the image it came up with which is first in black and white. It then gradually colours the image one bit at a time. c. The model drafts things similarly as a human would. It starts by sketching out outlines and then fills in the details.
In the realm of computer graphics, how does duality assist in tasks such as polygon triangulation?
