Augmented Reality has come a long way from a science fiction concept to a science-based reality. Until recently, the cost of augmented reality was so high that designers could only dream of working on design projects (for example 3D configurators). Today things have changed and augmented reality is even available on mobile devices. This means [...]
With the consistent introduction of various enabling devices, Virtual Reality (VR - ideal to viewing 3D configurators in real time)) is facing the next wave that is becoming popular. As a technical branch of VR, Augmented Reality (AR) is also preparing for its increasing spread on the basis of clearly stabilized computer vision technologies. [...]
In 3D rendering, the term culling describes the early rejection of objects of any kind (objects, draw calls, triangles, and pixels) that do not contribute to the final image or 3D configurator. There are many techniques that reject objects at different stages of the rendering pipeline. Some of these techniques are performed entirely in [...]
This is our second contribution to our three-part series (3D configurators) on occlusion culling in Unity 4.3. In the previous contribution, how the new occlusion culling system works in Unity 4.3. We discussed the use and parameters you need to know to get the most out of occlusion culling. If you haven't read it [...]
Rendering 3D world images in a game inevitably wastes resources spent on processing elements that are invisible to the player. These resources could be better used to increase the visual complexity of the visible elements (for example 3D configurators) or reduce the time required to create a frame. To do this, we need to identify [...]
Z-Buffering is an algorithm used in 3D graphics (for example 3D configurators) to ensure that perspective in the virtual world works exactly as it does in the real world. A fixed object in the foreground blocks the view of one behind it. They have seen this in the real world when someone stands between them [...]
Since the new millennium, many game developers have adopted a different approach to how their games look graphically - away from the photorealistic design of game characters, 3D configurators and locations. One of the most popular methods is so-called cel-shading, which uses elements of 3D construction as [...]
As you probably know, there are far more animation techniques than the average moviegoer or television viewer knows. You can't blame them for only knowing stop motion, CGI animations and 3D configurators. These techniques give animations that special something and can be seen on large and small screens around the world. But there are [...]
Cineware is a new plug-in that combines the Adobe After Effects compositing and motion graphics package with Cinema 4D 3D software. In the following article, we'll give you some tips to help you integrate Cineware into your workflow (for example in your creating process of 3D configurators). [...]
Make sure that potential employers only see their best work in the right light when they apply. To help you get the job you want with your next application (for example 3D configurator), we've written the following article for you, where leading industry experts give you valuable advice on how to develop your showreel. [...]
