General Info 1

A CGI sequence is a computer generated image sequence where images are displayed one after the other with a short pause to show the construction or movement of an object in stages - see the V12 CGI sequence. A CGA sequence is a computer generated animation sequence where images are displayed in quick succession for smooth movement - see the V12 CGA sequence.

____________________

A technical CGA sequence is a sequence where the subject is of a technical nature. As with a technical illustration, a technical CGA sequence will often show the assembly or operation of something that has several parts or is of complex construction. Click the T3DM logo for an example. Although often associated with engineering, ‘technical’ can refer to any complex construction.

Most computer based DVD players provide ‘Pause’ and ‘Frame capture’ options. This enables you to print frames from a CGA sequence when you require a hard copy. Simply pause the video at the frame you require, click the ‘Frame Capture’ button and a copy will be sent to your clipboard. Open your image editing software, then paste and print the image as required.

Every second of your PAL CGA sequence provides the potential for printing up to 25 different illustrations. Using DVD software player ‘Pause’ and ‘Frame Capture’ options, you can capture and print compressed images. If you need higher quality images, let me know which frames you would like and I will print them from the original uncompressed file at the size you require.

I can work from drawings, sketches, photos, physical models or just an idea. I can assist businesses with the promotion of new designs or products and assist private inventors who would like to show or demonstrate a new idea or invention. Technical CGA sequences can show the assembly & operation of virtually anything and are far more informative than technical illustrations.

Your CGA sequence can be supplied in any required format for your own multimedia production or website, can be authored to DVD for easy demonstration or distribution, can be uploaded to a Techmodel sub-site for password protected access by you and your clients and (if your design is non-confidential) can also be shown free of charge on this website for up to 12 months.
