Intro To 3D Graphics: Our goal


WEEK1

In week 1 we had an overview of what we want to have as an outcome at the end of the module. Things discussed were coordinate systems. This is basically how our virtual world can be represented in our computer. We discussed how we can use the cartesian coordinate system. cartesian space can have 2 planes, the x and y planes for 2 dimensions or in the third dimension we introduce another plane the z axis. With the z axis however you have to decide on whether you wish to use the left hand system(this is when the positive z axis is into the plane) or the right handed system(this is when the positive z axis is out of the plane).

So you have to make sure you select a system to use and remain consistent with that system. We also discussed about data sampling for 3d geometry and about how these points to be plotted are stored in the geometry.
