Research, development, and applications in computer graphics have dramatically expanded in recent years. Because of decreasing prices, superior hardware is now being used and image quality is better than ever. Many people now require image-synthesis techniques and software for their applicaions. Moreover, the techniques of computer ani mation have become very popular. In this book, we present a wide range of applications of computer graphics. This book is a collection of 44 papers in various areas of computer graphics selected from papers presented at Graphics Interface '85. Graphics Interface '85, held from May 27 to 31 in Montreal, was the first truly international computer graphics conference in Canada. This year, for the first time, the conference was presented jointly by the Com puter Graphics Society and the Canadian Man-Computer Communications Society. This new arrangement gave the conference international scope. The conference was spon sored by the Department of Communications in Ottawa, the Department of Science and Technology in Quebec, Supply and Services Canada, the Natural Sciences and Engineer ing Research Council of Canada, Hydro-Quebec, the "Association Canadienne Fran«aise pour I' Avancement des Sciences", and the Canadian Broadcasting Corpora tion. Graphics Interface '85 was organized by "1'Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commerciales" of the University of Montreal. Over 100 papers were submitted to the conference , but 64 were selected by the inter national program committee for presentation. This book contains new expanded versions of the papers.

What Is Computer Generated Imagery The use of computer graphics to create or contribute to images in works of art, printed media, video games, simulators, computer animation, and visual effects in motion pictures, television programs, shorts, commercials, and videos is referred to as computer-generated imagery (also abbreviated as CGI). Although the word "CGI" is most generally used to refer to the 3-D computer graphics used for producing characters, scenes, and special effects in films and television, which is defined as "CGI animation," the pictures may be dynamic or static, and they may be two-dimensional (2D). How You Will Benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Computer-generated imagery Chapter 2: Computer animation Chapter 3: Digital art Chapter 4: Autodesk 3ds Max Chapter 5: Visual effects Chapter 6: Scientific visualization Chapter 7: Visualization (graphics) Chapter 8: Non-photorealistic rendering Chapter 9: Real-time computer graphics Chapter 10: Virtual cinematography Chapter 11: 3D rendering Chapter 12: 3D computer graphics Chapter 13: Projection augmented model Chapter 14: Computer graphics (computer science) Chapter 15: Computer graphics Chapter 16: Fractal-generating software Chapter 17: List of 3D computer graphics software Chapter 18: History of computer animation Chapter 19: 3D modeling Chapter 20: Visual computing Chapter 21: Virtual humans (II) Answering the public top questions about computer generated imagery. (III) Real world examples for the usage of computer generated imagery in many fields. (IV) 17 appendices to explain, briefly, 266 emerging technologies in each industry to have 360-degree full understanding of computer generated imagery' technologies. Who This Book Is For Professionals, undergraduate and graduate students, enthusiasts, hobbyists, and those who want to go beyond basic knowledge or information for any kind of computer generated imagery.

"The realism of visual effects has increased dramatically since filmmakers started using computers. With new technology, directors can now make short scenes or full-length movies using animation. Real-life actors can be combined with virtually-created sets. Check out how cutting-edge digital effects are created, and prepare to see movie magic!"--Page [4] cover.
Illumination and Color in Computer Generated Imagery

In a very broad sense the historical development of computer graphics can be considered in three phases, each a giant step down the road towards "realistic" computer generated images. The first, during the late 1960's and early 1970's, can perhaps be characterized as the "wire frame" era. Basically pictures were composed of lines. Considerable em phasis was placed on "real time" interactive manipulation of the model. As models became more complex and as raster technology developed, eliminating the hidden lines or hidden surfaces from the image became critical for visual understanding. This requirement resulted in the second phase of computer graphics, the "hidden surface" era, that developed during the 1970's and early 1980's. The names associated with hidden surface algorithms read like a who's who of computer graphics. The cul mination of the hidden surface era and the beginning of the current and third era in computer graphics, the "rendering" era, was Turner Whitted's incorporation of a global illumination model into the ray trac ing algorithm. Now the goal was not just to generate an image, but to generate a realistic appearing image.

This book reflects the many changes that computer graphics technology has under gone in my working life time. I graduated from a teachers college in 1963. There was not a computer of any kind on campus, imagine my shock when my very first college employer (Omaha University) required me to know something about an IBM 1620 and a key punch machine! The first part of this book is an account of that experience at Omaha University and later the Nebraska of Nebraska at Omaha. When I moved to Clemson University in 1976, they had a computer and a large Calcomp Plotter but nothing else in the way of computer graphics hardware or software. So, except for a few short sections in chapter one, this history begins with the events of 1963 and proceeds to document what happened to computer graphics for engineering design and manufacturing as practiced by an engineer or technician at Clemson University. The next section of the book contains my experiences as a self-employed consultant (1993-present), my consulting started in 1984 after I completed a PhD in Data Systems Engineering. In 1993, I left full time teaching and became Professor Emeritus at Clemson University. I wanted to start my own consulting company, DLR Associates. Oddly enough, most of my first consulting in computer graphics took place in the Omaha and Pennsylvania areas - not South Carolina. My contacts came from my paper presentations at various ASEE meetings and the annual national distance learning conferences held at the University of Maine. I took a year off to accept a Fulbright Scholarship Nomination from the University of Rookee, India. I was listed as an international member in the Who's Who Directory of the computer graphics industry. In a nut shell, that is who I am. Why, then, did I decide to write this book?
