Barycentric coordinate system

In geometry, a barycentric coordinate system is a coordinate system in which the location of a point is specified by reference to a simplex (a triangle for points in a plane, a tetrahedron for points in three-dimensional space, etc.). The barycentric coordinates of a point can be interpreted as masses placed at the vertices of the simplex, such that the point is the center of mass (or barycenter) of these masses.

Blender (software)

Blender is a free and open-source 3D computer graphics software tool set that runs on Windows, MacOS, BSD, Haiku, and Linux.

See UV mapping and Blender (software)

Computer graphics

Computer graphics deals with generating images and art with the aid of computers.

See UV mapping and Computer graphics

Digital sculpting

Digital sculpting, also known as sculpt modeling or 3D sculpting, is the use of software that offers tools to push, pull, smooth, grab, pinch or otherwise manipulate a digital object as if it were made of a real-life substance such as clay.

See UV mapping and Digital sculpting

Equirectangular projection

The equirectangular projection (also called the equidistant cylindrical projection or la carte parallélogrammatique projection), and which includes the special case of the plate carrée projection (also called the geographic projection, lat/lon projection, or plane chart), is a simple map projection attributed to Marinus of Tyre, who Ptolemy claims invented the projection about AD 100.

Geodesic

In geometry, a geodesic is a curve representing in some sense the shortest path (arc) between two points in a surface, or more generally in a Riemannian manifold.

Glossary of computer graphics

This is a glossary of terms relating to computer graphics.

Latitude

In geography, latitude is a coordinate that specifies the north–south position of a point on the surface of the Earth or another celestial body.

See UV mapping and Latitude

Least squares conformal map

A Least squares conformal map (LSCM) is a 2-D representation of a 3-D shape created using the Least Squares Conformal Mapping Method.

Lightmap

A lightmap is a data structure used in lightmapping, a form of surface caching in which the brightness of surfaces in a virtual scene is pre-calculated and stored in texture maps for later use.

See UV mapping and Lightmap

Longitude

Longitude is a geographic coordinate that specifies the east–west position of a point on the surface of the Earth, or another celestial body.

See UV mapping and Longitude

Map projection

In cartography, a map projection is any of a broad set of transformations employed to represent the curved two-dimensional surface of a globe on a plane.

See UV mapping and Map projection

Mesh parameterization

Given two surfaces with the same topology, a bijective mapping between them exists.

See UV mapping and Mesh parameterization

Net (polyhedron)

In geometry, a net of a polyhedron is an arrangement of non-overlapping edge-joined polygons in the plane which can be folded (along edges) to become the faces of the polyhedron.

See UV mapping and Net (polyhedron)

Non-uniform rational B-spline

Non-uniform rational basis spline (NURBS) is a mathematical model using basis splines (B-splines) that is commonly used in computer graphics for representing curves and surfaces.

See UV mapping and Non-uniform rational B-spline

Polygon mesh

In 3D computer graphics and solid modeling, a polygon mesh is a collection of, s and s that defines the shape of a polyhedral object.

See UV mapping and Polygon mesh

Projection mapping

Projection mapping, similar to video mapping and spatial augmented reality, is a projection technique used to turn objects, often irregularly shaped, into display surfaces for video projection.

See UV mapping and Projection mapping

Quaternion

In mathematics, the quaternion number system extends the complex numbers.

See UV mapping and Quaternion

Radon transform

In mathematics, the Radon transform is the integral transform which takes a function f defined on the plane to a function Rf defined on the (two-dimensional) space of lines in the plane, whose value at a particular line is equal to the line integral of the function over that line.

See UV mapping and Radon transform

Texture atlas

In computer graphics, a texture atlas (also called a spritesheet or an image sprite in 2D game development) is an image containing multiple smaller images, usually packed together to reduce overall dimensions.

See UV mapping and Texture atlas

Texture mapping

Texture mapping is a method for mapping a texture on a computer-generated graphic.

See UV mapping and Texture mapping

Vertex (computer graphics)

A vertex (plural vertices) in computer graphics is a data structure that describes certain attributes, like the position of a point in 2D or 3D space, or multiple points on a surface.

See UV mapping and Vertex (computer graphics)

Vertex (geometry)

In geometry, a vertex (vertices or vertexes) is a point where two or more curves, lines, or edges meet or intersect.

See UV mapping and Vertex (geometry)

3D modeling

In 3D computer graphics, 3D modeling is the process of developing a mathematical coordinate-based representation of a surface of an object (inanimate or living) in three dimensions via specialized software by manipulating edges, vertices, and polygons in a simulated 3D space.
