Video: 3D Computer Graphics

Welcome to our lesson on 3D Computer Graphics!

In today's digital world, 3D graphics are everywhere, from movies and video games to medical imaging and architectural design. But how do we create these immersive 3D worlds and display them on a 2D screen?

To help us understand the fundamentals, we will be watching the video "3D Graphics: Crash Course Computer Science #27". This video provides a comprehensive overview of the core concepts in 3D computer graphics, including:

• 3D Projection and Wireframe Rendering: How 3D coordinates are translated to a 2D view.
• Polygons and Meshes: The building blocks of 3D models.
• Rendering and Shading: Techniques for filling in objects with color and creating realistic lighting.
• Occlusion: How computers handle objects that are hidden behind others.
• Textures and GPUs: How surfaces are detailed and the hardware that powers it all.
