Computer Graphics (CG) Concepts

• Definition:
Computer Graphics is the field of computer science that deals with generating, storing, and
manipulating visual images using computers.

• Applications:

o Video games and simulations

o Graphic design and animation

o Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR)

o Scientific visualization and CAD

• Types of Computer Graphics:

1. 2D Graphics: Images represented in two dimensions (X, Y).

2. 3D Graphics: Representation of objects in three dimensions (X, Y, Z) for realism.

3. Interactive Graphics: Users can interact with objects, e.g., in games or simulations.

• Key Concepts:

o Raster Graphics: Image represented as pixels; used in digital images.

o Vector Graphics: Image represented using geometric shapes; scalable without losing
quality.

o Rendering: Process of generating an image from a model.

o Animation: Creating motion by displaying sequences of images.

o Transformation: Translation, rotation, scaling of objects in graphics.

o Lighting and Shading: Techniques to create realistic effects in 3D graphics.

• Tools and Libraries:

o OpenGL, DirectX, Unity, Blender, Adobe Illustrator, Maya
