Simple Example of Wireframe Model
An object is specified by two tables: the vertex table and the edge table. The vertex table consists of three-dimensional coordinate values for each vertex with reference to the origin, while the edge table specifies the start and end vertices for each edge. After the appropriate calculations have been performed to transform the 3D coordinates of the vertices into 2D screen coordinates, a naïve interpretation could create a wireframe representation by simply drawing straight lines between the screen coordinates of the appropriate vertices using the edge list. Unlike representations designed for more detailed rendering, face information is not specified (it must be calculated if required for solid rendering).
| Vertex | X | Y | Z |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 1 | -1 | 1 |
| 3 | -1 | -1 | 1 |
| 4 | -1 | 1 | 1 |
| 5 | 1 | 1 | -1 |
| 6 | 1 | -1 | -1 |
| 7 | -1 | -1 | -1 |
| 8 | -1 | 1 | -1 |
| Edge | Start Vertex | End Vertex |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 2 |
| 2 | 2 | 3 |
| 3 | 3 | 4 |
| 4 | 4 | 1 |
| 5 | 5 | 6 |
| 6 | 6 | 7 |
| 7 | 7 | 8 |
| 8 | 8 | 5 |
| 9 | 1 | 5 |
| 10 | 2 | 6 |
| 11 | 3 | 7 |
| 12 | 4 | 8 |

Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or model:
“Here we are, we’re alone in the universe, there’s no God, it just seems that it all began by something as simple as sunlight striking on a piece of rock. And here we are. We’ve only got ourselves. Somehow, we’ve just got to make a go of it. We’ve only ourselves.”
—John Osborne (b. 1929)
“I’d like to be the first model who becomes a woman.”
—Lauren Hutton (b. 1944)
