Kavita Bala works on computer graphics algorithms for rendering and modeling complex virtual worlds.
By understanding and exploiting the limits of the human visual system, new simulation, rendering and modeling algorithms become possible that scale to real-world complexity.
But it doesn't require big new technological leaps (the challenge is more about graphical processing power on the back end, and software to render and model fabrics/materials moving in a realistic way).
First, 3DP technology requires future talents to use a xyz coordinate system based 3D CAD modeling, rendering, and simulation programs, such as Rhinoceros and 3D Studio Max, in creating virtual product prototypes using real world measurements and references.
Three.js handles the rendering and modeling of the project.
Areas of support: Maps & GIS, Text mining (computational text analysis), Web design, Multimedia, Library research, Data visualization, Python/R, Architectural Rendering and Modeling, Photogrammetry.
It has technical functions of modeling, rendering and animation, and mainly adopts the polygonal method for 3D modeling.
Furthermore, computers are now equipped with highly performant, easy to use, 3D scanners and graphic facilities for real-time modeling, rendering, and manipulation.
Employing a coherent conceptual framework, Implicit Objects in Computer Graphics addresses the role of implicitly defined objects in the following parts: mathematical foundations of geometric models, implicit formulations for the specification of shapes, implicit primitives, techniques for constructing and manipulating implicit objects, modeling, rendering and animating implicit objects.
