Computer Graphics

The goal of computer graphics is to show a virtual world. This virtual world is composed of many different objects. A rendering program takes the computer models of the objects and converts them into an array of pixels that are rendered on the computer screen to give an image of the virtual world. The virtual world in this talk consists of two milk cartons.
