What is 3D ?suomeksi

It is easier to understand 3D graphic, if we at first look at 2D or 2 dimensional graphic using our simple model below. In picture 1 we have drawn square with two dimensions width "X" and height ”Y”.

3D

In picture 2 we have drawn same square as 3D-graphic, and so we can call our square as a cube. As you can see our cube have width ”X” and ”height ”Y” but also a third dimension depth ”Z”. 3D-software, like Blender creates dimension ”Z” for instance using shadows. This is how we can create illusion of three dimension to two dimension screen. 


Looking objects in three dimensional way is the same natural way as we are looking objects in the real world! Using 3D-graphic it is possible to create objects and views which does not exist in the real world! If we put moving these virtualobjects, we can talk about 3D-animations. 


We can print a still-picture about these virtualobjects or create an animation video. If we use advanced rendering technics, like ray tracing, it is possible to create pictures that are almost like real photographs. Fot these cases you need a lot of computing power, maybe even hundreds of computers "renderfarm" if you are creating full lenght animation movie! 


We think 3D-graphic and 3D-animation can't be ”The Point” in the productions. 3D-graphic and 3D-animation are always like tools which make your wildest dreams come true! Nothing beats real beatiful scenery or film camera! 3D technique takes a place when you want to create objects and scenerys which are impossible to create using real sets and camera.


In traditional video- and still camera shootings has their own physically limits, but using 3D graphic we can create scenerys you ever want! Only your imagination is limit! We can think computer screen is like a viewfinder of your camera – what you see from the viewfinder you can create yourself using mouse and keyboard following your imagination!


Using 3D graphic we can create objects, special effects and virtual sets for instance your own videomaterial. When we use 3D graphic, perspective of effects and objects can be changed following the perspective changes of original videomaterial. That is one of the reasons we can produce very realistic objects and effects to your videomaterials.
