Bringing Worlds to Life: Topology in Computer Graphics

In computer graphics, topology helps animators model and manipulate shapes smoothly. Whether creating a character or designing a game world, understanding how surfaces can stretch and bend without tearing is essential.

Why Topology Matters Here

  • Ensures 3D models deform naturally when animated.
  • Helps simulate realistic movements and transformations.

Examples

  • Designing a character's mesh so it bends properly at elbows and knees.

  • Morphing one shape into another in a special effects scene.
