The typical primitives in 3D graphics are lines and triangles. The type of properties provided per vertex include x-y-z coordinates, RGB values, translucency, texture, reflectivity and other ...

For starters, it accelerated a bit more of the 3D graphics pipeline in hardware, taking the triangle setup process away from the CPU. Secondly, the architecture officially had the ability to scale ...

Graphics Cards Amassing over $10,000 worth of retro GPUs over 14 years, this avid collector says they were astounded it started with a $28 purchase Graphics Cards The first Radeon was superior to ...

First, we started making 3D objects out of triangles. Why triangles? Because no matter where we put three points in space, they always describe a two-dimensional, flat area. At first, the triangles ...

In 3D graphics, a technique developed by Henri Gouraud in the early 1970s that computes a shaded surface based on the color and illumination at the corners of every triangle. Gouraud shading is ...

And in 3D model terms, “polygons” are the number of faces a model has. A cube, for instance, has six faces. These polygon faces, which commonly consist of triangles, as the Unreal demo refers to them, ...

STL stands for Standard Tessellation Language and Standard Triangle Language. A file with .stl extension is a 3D graphic file native to Stereolithography technology. Stereolithography is basically ...

Meshes, constructed from triangles of points and lines ... demonstrating that even the most fundamental 3D graphics can be developed from first principles. For tinkerers and students of 3D ...
