5. 3-D drawing Features of 3-D application -Modeling( Placing all the elements into 3-D space) -Extrusion (The shape of a plane surface extends some distance) -Lathing (A profile of the shape is rotated around a defined axis)

7. BEFORE YOU START TO CREATE:                            -Plan your approach -Organize the available tools -Configure computer work space

8. MAKING STILL IMAGES -Still images are generated in two ways: Bitmaps(raster), Vector-drawn graphics

8.1. Bitmaps are an image format suited for creation of : - Photo-realistic images      - Complex drawings requiring fine detail

9. Natural light and color                             #Additive color (red, green, and blue)   #Subtractive color (cyan, magenta, and yellow) #Color models
