The teapot was one of the first 3D objects. In 1975, Martin Newell wanted a simple object to try to render. His wife suggested a teapot, which was perfect. While fairly simple, it could cast light on itself and had an internal hole. He graphed out the shape on paper then put in each point coordinate into his computer by hand, as the computer was not powerful enough to generate the coordinates on its own. It has been dubbed the "Utah Teapot."

As a GPU hardware engineer, I’m astonished at the level of abstraction you’ve been able to achieve with your video. Concise yet very informative. Great work.

This is my advice to any one still in high school or middle school who is interested in programing and game design: pay close attention when you first learn about matrices in algebra. These are super useful, as per the video and it will make courses like linear algebra a bit easier to swallow later. Great video. I should have known that transformations would factor into this. It is cool to see the math I already know (but maybe not quite remember) applied here.

Well, before computers were even capable of doing realtime rasterisation (so, before OpenGL was a thing), that's how 3D modelling was done. The Utah Teapot (the one shown in the video at 2:06) was first designed on graph paper, before being written by hand as a 3D model.

Thanks for amazing quality content and blessing KZread.!!!

Thanks for the useful info. I've been working on a 3d Modelling app and this has helped me a lot.👍😁

Nice video! IMO, one thing said in the beginning is wrong, though: If we're talking about current real-time graphics in games, all 3D models are made up of triangles. Ages ago, quads were used sometimes, but since the triangulation of a quad can be done in two ways, a non-planar quad in a model can lead to artifacts or at least cause unnecessary headaches in modeling. Therefore, these days, everything is made up of triangles in real-time graphics. If we're not restricted to games and current graphics engines, a model can be made up of all sorts of surfaces or even as a combination of solids. A well-known example: Most 3D modellers these days support NURBS surfaces. Unless you're rasterizing the image, a model made up of NURBS surfaces can be rendered directly (for example, using a raytracer). So, IMO, it's wrong to state that all 3D models are made up of either tris or quads. Still, the rest was explained very nicely and to the point.

@Romejanic

7 жыл бұрын

Eh, some 3D modelling programs still support modelling in quads. However, most 3D modelling programs and game engines automatically triangulate/tessellate the models before they're exported, because yes, quads are generally not used anymore unless you're programming the verticies directly.

Yeah, as I said: Since the triangulation of non-planar quads can lead to artifacts, they aren't used anymore. Basically, an artist has pretty much no feasible way to set which way the quad should be split into triangles and therefore cannot fully control the shape that ends up being rendered.

Awesome job, this was easy to follow. You must understand it well to explain it that well.

Fantastic video. As a person new to this language its a lot of info all at once, but you put it all together beautifully.

You explained something so beautifully in few minutes such camera models and world which I found hard to grasp in a thick book on 3D graphics reading pages after pages. KZread learning is better than books now adays. Thanks

You kidding me? It's more magical than before! o.O

Great video! That was a nicely succinct summary of the crazy amount of computation going on behind the scenes to render graphics. Curious, do you work with OpenGL at your new job, or Direct3D? or something else? As for your tutorials in the future, will you be covering the older style immediate mode before OpenGL 2.0 or the newer stuff where you handle all your own matrices, shaders, etc? I love all the work you're doing. Can't wait for more!

Hi! This was so informative and well explained. Highly useful for me as a beginner. Thank you :)

That's a very good way of explaining things. I started to learn 3D in 2004, probably, after being an illustrator for a long time. Shame I lost the interest before really "getting there." As an illustrator that tries to keep drawing today, maybe using in 3D in my illustrations would revive my interest... I dunno. I would like to try, but I am tending more to a traditionalist approach nowadays (watercolor, traditional art for nearly everything) so I dunno how I would mix the two.

Love it, thank you for the knowledge 💕

Yeah! I would love to see one on how textures are applied to models and how renderers know what color should be put where on a polygon being projected onto the screen. That's something I've been wondering for a while. I'd also love to see one on lighting too, but specifically on what the difference between game engine renderers (like Unreal Engine) and standalone renderers (like Maxwell) (aka, what do they do differently that makes one take minutes to render each frame while the other is able to run at 60+ frames/second).

Such a wonderful explanation,

great video. i knew of little stuff here and there about graphics but it still didnt make any sense to me. this was enlightening

One thing that I'm missing a little bit, is texture projection and what mipmapping is, as well as why it is used, as textures are usually used in the most basic games. Apart from that, you pointed to the least requirements to look deeper into, that one might need if she or he wanted to build a software renderer, which I would advice anyone to do if there is interest in gaining a deep understanding of the matter - it is also a fun little project (I did one myself).

Great video. Very well explained. Liked and Subscribed. Good luck with your channel

As a game artist who now owns his own game company, I can tell you we love teapots!! also that a teapot was one of the first 3D objects to be rendered. Its one of the special objects available in 3ds Max by default.

All of this stuff is actually vital if you want to learn shader programming. This is a neat overview, especially for those trying to get into the theory behind a graphics pipeline. Well done!

@@gauravv3367 it's good if you start learning programming from early stage. I also started learning on my own, from 0 experience on programming and now I am building my own game engine. I learned all stuff on my own. When I started learning there was an awesome game engine known as "DarkBasic" it is very easy to use game engine the language is very similar to BASIC. You can grab any beginner book on darkbasic and start learning it on your own. Basically you can get game Programming books for teens too, do some research and find what best suits you. I suggest darkbasic. Build some cool game, upload it on the Internet, impress your friend on school, impress your teachers, You will also learn programming in a fun way, with this knowledge you can start learning "C++", the one I learned was C++ for programmers by daitel, side by side learn data structures, there are some good books like "data structures for game programmers" too but don't learn this book alone, learn normal data structure book side by side too, after that comes a "algorithms" these are important subjexts too just don't think that this subject is useless, I want to remind you that game development is an engineering intensive field, it's true that everyone feels like I should give up and choose other field, but don't just give up have patience and go slowly, learn every thing step by step, if you don't understand the concepts read it again, now going back to our previous topic then comes the "object orieented modeling and design" and "software engineering principles" again you will feel software engineering as a useless subjext. "Design Patterns" and software architecture will help you too. I started these subject quite later so I faced a little bit difficulty. Then you can start computer graphics, and what interests you in parallell, I recommend computer architecture, linear algebra, Calculus, System programming, Operating System. With these skills you can learn OpenGL easily but even with these skills you will face difficulty in learning pipelines and the Matrix transformations at first, if you pass this test then rest of the concepts goes easily. But today's 3D games contains hundreds of models in the scene and each models are made up of thousands of triangles to explain in brief there's a lot of load on both CPU and GPU if we are not carefull, so for rendering efficiecy we use one data structure "BSP". We study it in "Computational Geomerty". I can't name everything here the list is so vast, and is impossible to list here, even i am in learning stage but yeah some other the important filed in games are physics, AI, mathematics.
