The term product data management (abbreviation: PDM) refers to the usually PIM software-supported storage of data originating from a product development. Usually this is information that defines and presents the product (for example 3D configurator). The data generated during product development can consist of data records (of a database system) or documents originating from [...]
The lens (ideal to view a 3D configurator) is described by its focal length, which is the distance in millimeters (mm) between the lens and the image it forms on the sensor or film when it is focused to infinitely sharp (the widest possible visual distance). The focus length determines the angle of view [...]
Game engines (ideal to create a 3D configurator) do most of their shading work per pixel or per fragment. But there is another alternative that has been popular in film for decades: Object Space Shading. Pixar`s Renderman, the best known renderer for computer graphics, uses the Reyes rendering method, which is an object space [...]
Motion Blur can give motion graphics and compositing projects to create a 3D configurator an aesthetically pleasing look. But what does the term actually mean and what is it used for? If you're a simple After Effects user, you've probably activated the Motion Blur switch for your [...]
When light rays (ideal to create a 3D configurator) from one or more bright light sources (such as sun or artificial light) hit the front element of a camera lens directly, they can reflect and bounce various lens elements, apertures, and even sensors, affecting image quality and creating unwanted objects in images. Better known [...]
It's amazing how the smallest things can have such a massive impact on a photo or 3D configurator (both positive and negative). One such small thing that can both improve and affect an image is the so-called "sunspot". If you shoot into the sun (or into bright [...]
If you've had a lot to do with keying, you probably know the term "light wrapping". Light Wrapping as a concept is easy to understand, but in practice it can be quite difficult to get a perfect Light Wrap. In the following article we take a look at light wraps and examine a few [...]
3D texturing is part of every pipeline. You may have a fantastic model, but if the textures don't look right, the whole model or scene can be affected. To give your 3D configurators the amazing textures they need, start following these tips for your next project and take your textures to the next level. [...]
Mapping and 3D modeling (important processes to create a 3D configurator) with drones is a cost-effective way to collect and deliver data about land, buildings and real estate. The latest software updates, features and partnerships make drone mapping useful for small and large businesses alike. The year [...]
Aliasing (important in 3D configurator projects) is an effect that causes different signals to become indistinguishable during sampling. Aliasing is characterized by the change in the output signal compared to the original signal, since resampling or interpolation results in a lower resolution in images, a slower frame rate with respect to video, or a [...]
