Two men who invented game-changing 3D computer graphics techniques now widely used in the film industry have won the highest distinction in computer science: the Turing Award. If you enjoyed Toy ...

3D computer graphics (in contrast to 2D computer graphics) are graphics that utilize a three-dimensional representation of geometric data that is stored in the computer for the purposes of ...

Of course, we don't have X/Y/Z coordinates on a 2D computer screen, so graphics algorithms are responsible for "flattening" 3D coordinates onto a 2D plane. This process is known as 3D Projection.

LaMothe, mathematician and computer scientist and author of the immensely well-received Tricks of the Windows Game Programming Gurus, has reprised that technohit with the same thing for 3D simulation.
