Computer Graphics Lab – Rendering & Transforms

Computer graphics is the science of generating visual images from mathematical descriptions of geometry, light, and material. In this lab you can apply translation, rotation, and scaling to 3D objects, then adjust light sources to see how shading algorithms like Phong illumination respond. Each change updates the rendered scene instantly, revealing the pipeline that powers every video game and animated film.

What you can do in this simulation

Apply translation, rotation, and scaling transforms and watch the scene update live
Adjust ambient, diffuse, and specular lighting parameters for Phong shading
Toggle between wireframe and filled-polygon rendering modes
Manipulate the camera view to understand projection and perspective
Observe how rasterization maps 3D coordinates to 2D screen pixels

Concepts covered

computer graphics · 3D transformations · rasterization · Phong shading · rendering pipeline · projection
