There is the computer itself, the basic math, the display and its controller, and the software algorithms used to generate curves and textures, and the applications that tie it all together.
Computer graphics are used in so many places: automotive design, movies, architecture, games, molecular design, and simulation/visualization of imaginary worlds and atomic bombs and the course of development is far from run.
3D in computers began as a way to represent automotive designs and illustrate the
