Computer Graphics
When I think about 3D computer graphics, as a designer I immediately think about Solidworks.
Solidworks is a CAD program that can be used to digitally design three dimensional things, and then render those things and produce drawings that may be helpful to the user.
It’s hard to imagine this heavy complex program in terms of what we are doing in class, but I would assume there are a lot of simple math functions that need to be done to make the program work. I guess you could simplify Solidworks into an interactive visual processor.
What I like most about Solidworks is its practicality and exactness. It is a very powerful tool that is fun to explore as a user. It also does a lot of math and measurements that might be difficult to impossible to do all by hand.
