Visualizing Quaternions eBook

Morgan Kaufmann | 2005-12-29 | ISBN: 0120884003 | 600 pages | PDF | 5,8 Mb

Introduced 160 years ago as an attempt to generalize complex numbers to higher dimensions, quaternions are now recognized as one of the most important concepts in modern computer graphics. They offer a powerful way to represent rotations and compared to rotation matrices they use less memory, compose faster, and are naturally suited for efficient interpolation of rotations. Despite this, many practitioners have avoided quaternions because of the mathematics used to understand them, hoping that some day a more intuitive description will be available.
The wait is over. Andrew Hanson's new book is a fresh perspective on quaternions. The first part of the book focuses on visualizing quaternions to provide the intuition necessary to use them, and includes many illustrative examples to motivate why they are importanta beautiful introduction to those wanting to explore quaternions unencumbered by their mathematical aspects. The second part covers the all-important advanced applications, including quaternion curves, surfaces, and volumes. Finally, for those wanting the full story of the mathematics behind quaternions, there is a gentle introduction to their four-dimensional nature and to Clifford Algebras, the all-encompassing framework for vectors and quaternions.

* Richly illustrated introduction for the developer, scientist, engineer, or student in computer graphics, visualization, or entertainment computing.
* Covers both non-mathematical and mathematical approaches to quaternions.
* Companion website with an assortment of quaternion utilities and sample code, data sets for the book's illustrations, and Mathematica notebooks with essential algebraic utilities.

Design first for 3d Artists eBook

Wordware Publishing, Inc. | ISBN 1556220855 | 2005 | 181 pages | PDF | English | 8MB

A useful book for graphic modelers. (2d and 3d) check it out.

Working on a project for most 3D artists means hitting the keyboard first without ever touching a pencil. But in the world of animation, the pencil is revered as the most powerful tool in the animation process, because it directly addresses the design aesthetic of an animated project. Production design is the process by which an artist establishes the tone for a particular film by offering a unique aesthetic vision that is in support of the story. As a 3D artist, to overlook design is to overlook the fundamental process that greatly influences not only the film itself but also your contributions as a professional. To combine the disciplines of traditional design and 3D animation is a choice that only you can make.

The result of this choice is a broader artistic skill set that increases your creativity and consequently increases your worth as a professional. Plain and simple, this book is going to teach you easy-to-use design techniques that will make you a better designer and increase your worth as a 3D artist. The most important element in any animated film is story and, as they say, story is king. The goal of a story is to take the audience on a journey through the lives and experiences of the characters within. Whether that journey is cerebral, emotional, or physical, the characters in that world should give the audience a point of view that is unique and compelling. As a designer, your role within a production is as an aesthetic problem solver who is there to support the story. As a 3D artist/animator, your role is to solve problems, but comes after the design process. Design and animation are two different disciplines that problem solve in two different ways, yet each has the same goal. What if we combined these disciplines into a single role that uses design to influence animation throughout the entire 3D process? This book is about that very thing. For those who are open minded about learning a valuable skill like design, this book will not only improve your animation work, but will improve your worth as a 3D artist.Production design for 3D animation is the process of using traditional drawing techniques to create characters, props, nvironments, color, lighting, compositions, and storyboards. Each design detail needs to be laid out and problem solved long before any animation is

Download Rapidshare Book Implicit Objects Computer Graphics

Springer | 0387984240 | 2002 | PDF | 208p | 2MB | RS | FF

Implicit definition and description of geometric objects and surfaces plays a critical role in the appearance and manipulation of computer graphics. In addition, the mathematical definition of shapes, using an implicit form, has pivotal applications for geometric modeling, visualization and animation. Until recently, the parametric form has been by far the most popular geometric representation used in computer graphics and computer-aided design. Whereas parametric objects and the techniques associated with them have been exhaustively developed, the implicit form has been used as a complementary geometric representation, mainly in the restricted context of specific applications. However, recent developments in graphics are changing this situation, and the community is beginning to draw its attention to implicit objects. This is reflected in the current research of aspects related to this subject. Employing a coherent conceptual framework, Implicit Objects in Computer Graphics addresses the role of implicitly defined objects in the following parts: mathematical foundations of geometric models, implicit formulations for the specification of shapes, implicit primitives, techniques for constructing and manipulating implicit objects, modeling, rendering and animation implicit objects. Topics and features: *Broad, conceptual approach covers the fundamental algorithms and ideas *Integrated and up-to-date overview of the main developments surrounding implicit objects *Organized and cohesive presentation combines theory and practice *Provides thorough explanation of key problems and challenges in the field

Addresses the role of implicitly defined objects in the following parts: mathematical foundations of geometric models, implicit formulations for the specification of shapes, techniques for constructing and manipulating implicit objects, modeling, rendering and animation implicit objects.
