Computer Graphics Flashcards
What is computer graphics?
Computer graphics involves the creation manipulation and representation of visual images and animations using computers.
Explain raster and vector graphics.
Raster graphics use pixels to represent images and are resolution-dependent while vector graphics use mathematical equations to define shapes making them resolution-independent.
What is 3D rendering in computer graphics?
3D rendering is the process of generating a 2D image or animation from a 3D model simulating realistic lighting textures and perspectives.
How does computer graphics contribute to virtual reality?
Computer graphics plays a crucial role in virtual reality by creating immersive visual experiences simulating realistic environments and enhancing user interactions.
