Let’s unpack these activities …
Camera. Lights. Models. They all rely on various flavors of
transformation matrices for position, orientation, and scale.
Transform Transformation Matrix Coordinate Frame Reference Frame Eye Space Model
Space World Space Different words for the same thing
They are the fundamental state of your objects I think
of them as their DNA
Every object in Unity exists in a hierarchy. Think tree-branch.
Think parent-child, or sibling relationship.
Matrices are the basis of this hierarchical relationship.
Matrix Demo: Parent Child - Unity
Unity uses quaternions for rotation. They are easier to specify
and control then rotation via matrices.
Quaternion demo: HelloLight - iPhone For an implementation of quaternions
in Swift for iOS see the EIArcball class in my HelloMetal repository on Github: https://github.com/turner/HelloMetal
Models
Model demo: Bust - Blender model download: http://bit.ly/2mbLDZj
Hang on! Where did those surfaces come from …? Rendering.
3D shapes are defined by vertices. Each is a point
in 3-space.
We attach a set of attributes to each vertex. •
position: x, y, z • surface normal: nx, ny, nz, • texture coordinate: u, v
u,v define a coordinate system on the surface of an
object for attaching a texture u v

Illumination Models
PrettyPixels = kd * (N.L) + ks * (R.V)^n An
illumination model describes the interaction between a object’s surface and light sources
PrettyPixels = kd * (N.L) + ks * (R.V)^n •
V - Eye vector • L - Light source vector • N - Normal vector • kd - diffuse scale factor Diffuse Illumination
PrettyPixels = kd * (N.L) + ks * (R.V)^n •
V - Eye vector • L - Light source vector • N - Normal vector • R - Refection vector • n - specular exponent • ks - specular scale factor Specular Illumination
In the real world surfaces are neither pure diffuse nor
pure specular.
Diffuse & Specular Show and Tell
Image Based Lighting (IBL) combined with High Dynamic Range (HDR)
Images allows us to eliminate “lights” entirely. Global Illumination (GI) takes things to another level.
IBL - HDR - GI Demo 1: Lego Star Wars

All of what we have talked about up to this
point is preamble to where the real action happens, the … GPU
Elastic Image Software LLC Think of the GPU as a
dragster
Elastic Image Software LLC It does one thing insanely well
The GPU is a SIMD computing beast
SnapChat and Instagram are GPU apps
The GPU takes the triangles and textures and rasterizes then
for display. We control the GPU with small programs called shaders written in GLSL or Metal (iOS).
A shader defines the look of an object Shaders come
in pairs • vertex shader • fragment shader
vertexShader fragmentShader vertexShader vertexShader
void main() { vec4 raw = texture2D(hero, v_st); vec3 inverted
= 1.0 - raw.rgb; gl_FragColor = vec4(inverted, 1.0); } fragmentShader code
GPU - GLSL Demo 1: FotoCollection - iPad
Doug’s Brain
The shader concept was introduced by Pixar in the form
of RenderMan. It is a powerful idea that has unleashed all the visual f/x we take for granted in games and effects-heavy movies.
I wrote a 3D rendering system with an interpreted object-based
language where shaders are first class citizens
Doug’s Shading Language The language implements objects, variables and expressions
Doug’s Shading Language + + = shiny = ambient +
diffuse + specular
So how far can you take this shader idea?
