For example, a cost-effective and safe use, is to simulate the views from the cockpit of a aircraft for pilot training. This systems takes advantage of a predefined environment and it is much cheaper to crash a simulator than a 747. The movie industry in Hollywood has seen the potential of computer graphics and no science fiction film is complete without its computer-animation type pictures. Simulation and movie making are both attempts to generate images of realistic objects. Importance of Computer Graphics in Architecture Architecture has always been a three dimensional art and supporters of this new media of computer presentations, argue that it has been suffering from the limitations of two dimensional tools.
Computer imagery arrives with the promise to fill that gap.
It provides a way to project isometrics, create finished perspectives or produce colour plans and elevations. In many architectural activities it is best to communicate in a graphic form, and for centuries, architects have used drawings and models as their primary design tools. This new generation of three dimensional computer graphics technology is a powerful new tool that we are just beginning to learn how to use. It may well have profound effects on the process of creating, visualising, and presenting architectural design. The images required by architects for their presentations need to be realistic with the ability to blend in the surrounding landscape, people and other environmental objects.
