CodePen: RGB colors.

Example with the javascript programming language presented in my codepen account solves the following issues:
  • create HTML tag div for each for iteration;
  • create an id for each div tag;
  • build an RGB color with red, green, and blue using a random function;
  • read that id and used to set the color background of each div;
  • print the RGB value for each color and set background color;
Let's see the example:

Slices of Mars in full 3D.

Graphics contain elements with complex informational content and require human and technical processing resources.
The complexity of the informational content is the result of the processing and assimilation process.
I could continue on this topic but it would not be fair for readers to give courses on this topic.
However, we can see multiple examples on the web that highlight these arguments.
Here is a pretty interesting example for both developers and scientists.

News : Three.js comes with new features.

I did not follow Three.js closely so this news is older.
Three.js is a cross-browser JavaScript library and application programming interface used to create and display animated 3D computer graphics in a web browser using WebGL. The source code is hosted in a repository on GitHub..., see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three.js
The last relese was 20 days agom see the GitHub webpage.
You can see a FBX model with animations on this online demo.

News : NeuMIP is a neural method for materials.

We propose NeuMIP, a neural method for representing and rendering a variety of material appearances at different scales. Classical prefiltering (mipmapping) methods work well on simple material properties such as diffuse color, but fail to generalize to normals, self-shadowing, fibers or more complex microstructures and reflectances. In this work, we generalize traditional mipmap pyramids to pyramids of neural textures, combined with a fully connected network. We also introduce neural offsets, a novel method which enables rendering materials with intricate parallax effects without any tessellation. This generalizes classical parallax mapping, but is trained without supervision by any explicit heightfield. Neural materials within our system support a 7-dimensional query, including position, incoming and outgoing direction, and the desired filter kernel size. The materials have small storage (on the order of standard mipmapping except with more texture channels), and can be integrated within common Monte-Carlo path tracing systems. We demonstrate our method on a variety of materials, resulting in complex appearance across levels of detail, with accurate parallax, self-shadowing, and other effects.
