Sommario/riassunto |
|
For the past 150 years, critics have referred to 'the Gogol problem', by which they mean their inability to account for a life and work that are puzzling, often opaque, yet have proved consistently fascinating to generations of readers. This book proceeds on the assumption that Gogol's life and work, in all their manifestations, form a whole; it identifies, in ways that have eluded critics to date, the rhetorical strategies and thematic patterns that create the unity. These larger concerns emerge from a close study of the major texts, fictional and nonfictional, and in turn are set in a broad artistic and intellectual context, Russian and European, with special attention to German philosophy, the visual arts, and Orthodox Christian theology. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Computer games, animation and modeling all have a common root in physics. It is only through the application of physics and mathematics that computer generated characters and objects can come to life. Physically Based Modeling and Animation goes behind the scenes of computer animation and details the mathematical, algorithmic, and numerical equations that make up the movement of virtual characters, as well as, the worlds they reside in. Dr. Donald House and Dr. John Keyser offer an approachable, hands-on view of the equations and programming that help guide the reader through the foundations of this field and help them in mastering everything they need to know in order to refine their creations. |
