ABSTRACT

Working in 3D Up to this point in the book we have been looking at rendering 3D objects in order to create a single picture or animations. When we were in our 3D package we had full control over where we looked, we could move all around the space and view the object from any angle. After just a short while you were able to imagine that that space was part of reality. Working in three dimensions is the natural thing to do as we live in a 3D world, but our resulting output was flat and 2D. It showed an illusion of three dimensions that is convincing because, as humans, we are conditioned to seeing things that way.
