Tl^^ system has a modeler which models objects, consisting of joints and segments. The animatoi- interactively positions the articulated object in its stick, control vertex or rectangular prism representation into the keyframes, interpolates inbetweens and previews the motion in real time. Then the data representing the motion and the models is sent to a multicomputer {iPSC/2 Ilypercube^). The frames are rendered in parallel by distributed processing techniques, exploiting the coherence between successive frames, thus cutting down the rendering time significantly. The main aim of this research has been to make a detailed study on rendering of a sequence of 3D scenes. The results show that due to an inherent correlation between the 3D scenes, a much more efficient rendering than the conventional sequential one can be done.x, 60 leavesEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess3D ModelingComputer AnimationRenderingParallel ProcessingDistributed RenderingTemporal CoherenceT385 .A38 1992Computer graphics.Three-dimensional display system.Computer animation.Thesis
