How did you manage to make the game behave like it was 3D if it was only a 2D game?

The Supernatural Olympics - FAQ
Math formulas, science, and more math formulas. All of my art-related formulas are here. They aren't as complex as they seem, even to get the 3D effects using a formula as simple as multiplying fractions, something a 4th-grader could do. There are several variants of the color-averaging formula originally discovered to do anti-aliasing and transparency in MSPaint since the program didn't allow it (and pretty much still doesn't as of mid-2006).

What do you use to make your cartoons (2D or 3D)?

Box of Mystery.Com - Teasing Cats since 1997
I used Flash 5 to make my 2D cartoons like "Ducktales" (at 12 frames per second,) and I used 3D Studio Max for a lot of my earlier 3D work. I'm now more proficient with Maya when it comes to 3D animation and modeling.

Why did you make it 2D?

The Behemoth
explained in our Gamespot interview, we experimented with a variety of alien renderings. We first approached the console version with a really slick looking 3D version of the alien, however the feel of the original was completely lost. We decided to stick with cartoon renderings. Our next attempt was a 3D cell- shaded alien, but it looked like everything else on the market.

gt; Why are 2d Maps for Eve better than 3d in-Game maps?

Eve Strategic Maps | Frequently Asked Questions
The logical grouping of some regions in EvE don't show the strategic value. A case from the demo map is that part of Querious is actually in Delve and has no connection to Querious. The Eve Strategic Map of Delve includes the Querious systems. Since the in-game map is actually 3D, there are many regions where either the 2D map shows overlaps in systems, that appear connected, but are not (or) the 3D map requires a lot of twisting and turning.

Why should I design in 3D instead of 2D?

Frequently Asked Questions
While the common statement of "2D meets our needs" is often true, it has been proven time and time again that the use of 3D methodology for the vast majority of mechanical design tasks is much more efficient than using 2D methodology. Speed and Accuracy are the two major benefits for designing in 3D. Unlike drafting, the task of designing involves continuous changes, additions, and deletions of geometry.

What are the advantages of 3D over 2D QCT?

FAQs
Faster patient setup and scan time with 3D QCT. 3D QCT requires the acquisition of a simple set of evenly spaced, parallel planes encompassing two vertebral bodies. 2D QCT requires gantry tilt adjustments to acquire 3 or 4 axial scans through the mid planes of 3 or 4 vertebral bodies. An implication of faster patient setup and scan time is that there is less chance of problems induced by patient motion.

What is the difference between 3D and 2D backgrounds?

Dozens of Muslins: Photo Backgrounds
Our 3D backgrounds, approximately 10’x 18’, have painted floors which are part of the seamless muslin background itself. Our 2D backgrounds, approximately 10’ x 8’, do not have a floor. (Some of the 2D thumbnails show couples photographed full-length. In these cases we added a separate floor which is not part of the background. Photographers who wish to use a 2D background full-length will need to create their own floor.)

What is the difference between 2D and 3D ultrasounds?

Peek At Baby
D ultrasound is the traditional method of viewing babies in the womb before they are born. It provides helpful information regarding the growing fetus, however, does not give an outward appearance of the fetus. With the new technology of 3D ultrasound you are given the opportunity to see an image that resembles a photo and gives you more details on what your baby looks like.

If The Supernatural Olympics has a strong 3D feel, why not make it as a 3D game instead?

The Supernatural Olympics - FAQ
There are a few reasons why I made it a 2D game. First, I've been around 2D games for so long (at least 90% of my video game playing time), I know how they work to such great detail. Second, 2D has very low system requirements compared to 3D which enhances who can buy the game. Third, I've been making 2D animations for years (dating clear back to late 2001 at the earliest) and my techniques for making them have improved so much, they have a fairly strong 3D feel to them.

Aunt Julie Pet Communicator - FAQs
Rover tells me (us, during the Consult) how he hates how Fluffy swats at him every single time he walks by. Done, over and out, comm delivered. Chances are excellent he will still hate it two seconds later and will keep growling and the conflicts will go on. The commonality between my 2 examples is: there's an upset, disagreement, conflict, whatever. Someone voices it. That does not necessarily handle it. (Sometimes it does! but that's another story.

How can I stack a set of 2D arrays (images) into a 3D piddle?

PDL::FAQ - Frequently asked questions about PDL
Assuming all arrays are of the same size and in some format recognised by rpic (see PDL::IO::Pic ) you could say: use PDL::IO::Pic; @names = qw/name1.tif .... nameN.tif/; # some file names $dummy = PDL->rpic($names[0]); $cube = PDL->zeroes($dummy->type,$dummy->dims,$#names+1); # make 3D piddle for (0..$#names) {($tmp = $cube->slice(":,:,($_)")) .

Are you interested in 2D or 3D data analysis?

APAS Info
I'm a junior orthopedic surgeon, planning a research project to evaluate the efficacy of a number of different cervical spine immobilization devices. As I expect you already know, when someone is involved in an accident we use certain methods to move them with the minimum amount of movement to their spine. This involves strapping them into or onto various boards, jackets and vacuum matresses, and may mean carrying them at any angle to extract them from mangled vehicles, cliffsides, etc.

How do I switch from 2D to 3D and vice versa?

Map24
You will find the 3D panel on the bottom of the map. To activate the 3D map, the panel has to be opened and you need to move the little map in the 3D panel according to your desired 3D perspective. Our interactive map needs a little moment to load all details. Tip: Look at the symbol in the upper right corner of the map: if the orange square is still moving not all details of the map have been loaded yet.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 2D, 3D AND 4D IMAGING?

D 4D Ultrasound in Oklahoma
D, 3D and 4D are trademarked terminology used in the industry to distinguish the different types of pictures and videos that can be provided. D ultrasounds are the traditional black & white ultrasounds you have probably seen before. The pictures show the skeletal structure (outline) of the baby. You also get to see the baby moving in 2D! This is the type of ultrasound that was probably used for your diagnostic ultrasound.

How do I draw 2D controls over my 3D rendering?

OpenGL FAQ / 9 Transformations
The basic strategy is to set up a 2D projection for drawing controls. You can do this either on top of your 3D rendering or in overlay planes. If you do so on top of a 3D rendering, you'll need to redraw the controls at the end of every frame (immediately before swapping buffers). If you draw into the overlay planes, you only need to redraw the controls if you're updating them. To set up a 2D projection, you need to change the Projection matrix.

When should I use 2D radiographic imaging (2D) and when Computed Tomography (3D)?

FAQs - phoenix|x-ray
We recommend 2D solutions for the inspection of large batches, since 2D inspection is usually faster and can easily be automated. For failure analysis and quality control, Computed Tomography, possibly in combination with high- resolution 2D inspection solutions, is the method of choice for they provide optimal spatial information at highest possible resolution and contrast.

I came to see a film in 3D, but it was only screening in 2D, why don't you show a 3D version?

IMAX Sydney | Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A 2D film is shot using one roll of film and one lens (as is common in traditional cinema). A 3D film is shot using two rolls of film and two lenses (corresponding to the left and right eye). If a film was not shot in 3D it cannot be screened as a 3D film. Some of the film screening at the theatre were only ever made as 2D films, so that although the theatre can show 3D films it does not mean all films can be screened in 3D.

How does it behave with the other dogs like it?

FAQ - Mastino Spagnolo - Allevamento Altare Savona
He can live very well together with other animals: dogs, cats, etc.. it is very patient, and immediately establishes the hierarchic relationship. Of course, this happens more easily if accustomed to it when it is a puppy. However, it lives well in group, respects the others and knows how to make the other dogs to respect itself. I would like to say again that it is never aggressive uselessly.
