Computer graphics is the process of making the design, 2D, 3D and animation of an object. Computer graphics can do many things, including modeling, simulation and visualization of an object or a problem. Modeling is a representation of how people describe or explain an object, system, or a concept, which is usually manifested by simplification or idealization. This can be represented by physical models (mockups, prototypes), the model image (design drawings, computer images), or mathematical formulas.
Visualization can also be done to facilitate the delivery of a material in a formal classroom or school. Solar system is a set of celestial bodies bound by gravitational forces. The movement of celestial bodies like the sun, stars, planets and the other will be more easily understood if taught through visualization movement through computer animation. This visualization shows the solar system planetary motion, or we can call it a revolution, that is, when the planets move around the sun, and remain in orbit each using OpenGL API to represent the solar system as a visual.
OpenGL support this modeling capability as OpenGL has additional features to better produce something more realistic. OpenGL allows us to create a graph that can be run on any operating system only minor adjustments. |
