3D Rendering in Computer Graphics

3D rendering is the 3D computer graphics process of automatically converting 3D wire frame models into 2D images with 3D photorealistic effects on a computer. Rendering methods Rendering is the final process of creating the actual 2D image or animation from the prepared scene. This can be compared to taking a photo or filming the scene after the setup is finished in real life. Several different, and often specialized, rendering methods have been developed. These range from the distinctly non-realistic wireframe rendering through polygon-based rendering, to more advanced techniques such as: scanline rendering, ray tracing, or radiosity. Rendering may take from fractions of a second to days for a single image/frame. In general, different methods are better suited for either photo-realistic rendering, or real-time rendering...

Grazie al racconto di esperienze di vita reale, Vivere e amare mostra come la Terapia della Prospettiva Temporale aiuti coloro che soffrono di depressione, ansia o stress a superare le esperienze legate a un passato negativo – dalle relazioni tossiche al bullismo – per indirizzarsi verso un futuro più positivo. Lo psicologo Philip Zimbardo nel suo libro The time cure (trad. it. La cura del tempo, Giunti, 2019) ha presentato un approccio terapeutico innovativo per coloro che soffrono di Disturbo da Stress Post-Traumatico (PTSD), sviluppato in collaborazione con Rosemary Sword. La Terapia della Prospettiva Temporale sposta il focus mentale dal passato al presente e dagli eventi negativi a quelli positivi, portando le persone ad avere una visione più equilibrata della propria vita.
