Abstract
Automatic photographic color rendering of the surfaces of wire frame representation of 3-dimensional objects is described. Bit mapped information of surface areas is captured as part of image processing in the creation of wire frames into the computer. When a wire frame is transformed to a different orientation, the rendering surfaces are automatically transformed and the wire frame can be rendered in the new orientation with photographic quality.
