ABSTRACT

With this work I was able to show, not only what you can achieve with the computer graphic processing unit (GPU) but also it being the core in every 3 dimensional (3D) modeling and animation in our visual 3D world or environment. Though I used “AMD RADEON HD 7400M Series GPU” for the 3D modeling on this work, there are much powerful GPUs Engine with capabilities to handle heavy duty 3D images and rendering such as the ‘ ’Nvidia RTX 2080Ti” which is among the most powerful GPUs available in the market for heavy duty gaming and other photo-realistic modeling. To also compare side by side model rendered with varieties of other GPUs and the difference between a CPU renderings versus a GPU. To also show how a GPU can be use in movie making using CGI (Computer Generated Image) which are being use to manipulate visual environment, objects and other make believes in our Sci-Fi movies such The Avengers. 3D modelings are heavily used in modeling object such as skies, mountains, aircrafts and alien being just to make believe. The software used for the modeling shown on this work was the “Autodesk 3D Max” which is among the best software application tool use for CGI and 3D modeling. From the introduction of the first 3D accelerator from 3dfx in 1996 these units have come a long way to be truly called a “Graphics Processing Unit”. So it is not a wonder that this piece of hardware is often referred to as an exotic product as far as computer peripherals are concerned. By observing the current pace at which work is going on in developing GPUs we can surely come to a conclusion that we will be able to see better and faster GPUs in the near future.
