What are the advantages and disadvantages of cad?
Advantages:
Can be easily erased and changed
Can be zoomed in for more detailed sections
Can be copied and pasted many times
Depending on skill, can be neater
Can be quicker
Can be sent to elsewhere quickly
Can be stored in a safe place
Can be checked for measurements by the computer
Can easily mass produce identical products
Can work throughout the night so can produce product 24 hours a day
Disadvantages:
If computer problem, all data will be lost
If not checked properly, the object created can go very wrong
Can be very expensive
Can be hard to do and handling needs training
Since not manual, can be slightly irritating because if not familiar with technology, it is very hard to insure exactly what is wanted by the designer e.g. If wanted something engraved instead of cut, the line colour has to be changed into blue instead of red.
Sometimes you can't do everything you want to because the tools aren't available
Lots of people lost their jobs when CAD CAM originally came out

AutoCAD is a Computer Aided Drafting program produced by Autodesk. Most people use it for slang like EX... "grab me a coke"...when really you want any soda....not specifically a Coca-Cola. Shows how much that program dominates the 2d CAD world
What does parenting mean in Lightwave 3D?
Parenting is a process used in animation that creates a hierarchy of special objects invisible to the camera (like nulls, bones or skelegons), that allow visible parts of models to move in relation to each other. The "parent" is the controlling object; at least one aspect of the "child's" movement is dictated by the parent. A model can have multiple parents and children (there are no grandchildren), and objects can be both a parent in the hierarchy as well as a child.
For example, if you want to animate a human arm using bones (or skelegons), the humorous (upper arm bone) will be a parent with a pivot point set at the model's shoulder. Another bone, attached with a pivot point at the elbow, will be the "child" to the upper arm bone. When the upper arm moves, the child (elbow and lower arm) will follow. The child can also be positioned independently, as long as it stays within certain parameters (like a real elbow).
A wrist bone is then attached to the lower arm, and will be a child of the lower arm. When the shoulder moves, the lower arm moves in relation to the upper arm, and the wrist moves in relation to the lower arm.
The concept is more difficult to explain in words than to demonstrate in a tutorial. For more information, see the Lightwave parenting tutorial in Related Links.
What are the differences between Image processing and computer vision?
§ Image processing tends to focus on 2D images, how to transform one image to another by pixel-wise operations, such as noise removal, edge detection, etc. whereas computer vision includes 3D analysis from 2D images.
§ As inferred from above, image processing does not require any assumptions, nor does it produce any interpretations about the image content, whereas computer vision often relies on more or less complex assumptions about the scene depicted in an image.
§ The output of image processing is another image whereas the output of computer vision is generally information in the form of a decision or data.
§ Image processing is a subset of computer vision.
What is the difference between section and elevation in civil engineering?
I was always taught that an elevation is looking at the side of something. You can show everything you would see from front to back and can include hidden lines for things behind.
A section however is what you would see if you cut an object. You would only show what you can see at the cut line nothing in front and nothing behind.
Like most things you can apply a bit of draughting licence. You can deviate from this a little for clarity or other reasons.
What is difference between A buffer algorithm Z buffer algorithm?
A z-buffer is a raster buffer that stores color and depth information at each pixel. The "z" in the title refers to the "z" plane in 3D space, which is traditionally thought of as the "depth" dimension.
The buffer initializes each pixel to the default color and an infinite depth. During the rendering process, when a color is written to a pixel, it first compares the current depth of the color in the pixel. If the new color is closer than the current color but closer than the clip plane (which is typically zero), the color is written and the depth updated.
In that sense, it's similar to the painter's algorithm, where the closer object covers the further object.
Here's the basic algorithm:
WritePixel(int x, int y, float z, color c)
if ( z < zbuffer[x][y] && z > 0 ) then
zbuffer[x][y] = z;
frameBuffer[x][y] = color;
end
The a-buffer uses the same algorithm for handling depth, but adds anti-aliasing. Each pixel contains a set of sub-pixels. During the write operation, the values are accumulated at the sub-pixel level. For the final pixel read, the final color is the sum of all the sub-pixels.
The algorithm was originally developed by Loren Carpenter (or Pixar) for the RenderMan renderer. The position of the sub-pixels in each pixel are randomly selected in space and time, which allows smooth blurring of moving objects. RenderMan dices geometry down to micropolygons (polygons approximately the size of a pixel), and then performs a coverage test to determine if a sub-pixel is covered by a micro-polygon.
However, this approach doesn't work with a more "typical" renderer, since they typically deal with points, which unlike micropolygons, have no surface area.
A common adaption of this algorithm is the accumulationtechnique, which renders an image multiple times, randomly jittering (moving) the position of the eyepoint by some small amount. The result of each rendering is accumulated and averaged into single buffer. This approach is made practical with a hardware accelerated renderer such as OpenGL. However, this approach is probably better thought of as supersampling rather than an a-buffer.

What are best courses which have best scope in future and easy to handle?
The best course to study is the one that leads to your overall career goals and objectives. Thus, I would imagine you do not have anything specific at this time. So many individuals enroll in college programs without a specific goal in mind. As such, many become miserable in their work which is not good for them, or their employer. If you want to be successful in your work and personal life, carefully consider the following.
To be successful in your work, you must acquire a vision. A vision is a clearly articulated picture of the future you intend to create for yourself. In other words, it's a dream. However, if the dream does not have direction, it will always remain a dream and will never become a reality for you. That vision should create a passion within you, a love for what you do and the benefit it will bring to others as well as yourself. Make sure the vision is specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and tangible. Let us look at this closer. When you believe you have chosen an appropriate career goal, look at it in SMART fashion as follows. * Specific - Make sure your career goal is very specific. For example, "I would like to be a teacher," is not specific. "I would like to be a high school biology teacher in New Jersey (USA) in an urban school by 2012" is. * Measurable - Make sure you can measure your progress. How will I know I am progressing in the right direction? This is where the development of short-term objectives comes in (discussed below). You will know you are on the right path as you accomplish each short -term objective. * Achievable - Is the goal achievable considering my current life situation and circumstances? * Realistic - Is what I want to do really realistic. For example, "I would like to be a middle weight boxing champion, and I am 63 years old." That is not realistic. * Tangible - What will I - specifically - have at the end? What will I be (exactly)? It must be very specific. Once you acquire that vision your path will become clear. Still, you will need a mentor, counselor, or coach who will be able to help you develop a road map embedded with short-term objectives leading to your overall career goals and objectives. The achievement of short-term objectives will indicate you are moving in the correct direction, and will also give you energy and excitement to carry on towards your overall career goal. It will take some research, but you most likely have some ideas already. Follow them through, look at the nature of the field, the everyday routine, the required education, the salary, the occupational demand and the related fields. When a career sparks an interest, try to shadow an individual who is actually doing what you think you might like to do. You can pick up valuable information this way. Thus, the following. * Acquire the will to change circumstances. * Acquire the vision (dream). * Develop a road-map embedded with short-term objectives leading to your overall goal and objective. * Just do it and do not let go until it becomes a reality.
