Abstract

A real-time 3D engine is a software system which allows a computer to generate and display three-dimensional graphics at interactive speeds. Faster, more capable, and less expensive video hardware has encouraged improvement in real-time engines and a diversification of their applications. They have been used traditionally in applications such as games and simulators, but increasingly are appearing in other applications such as home modeling, ticket purchasing, and other uses. Real-time 3D engines are therefore an area of understandable interest and considerable value to students of Computer Science.
