In fact, graphic image software has a wide range, which is mainly divided into two forms: plane graphic image and three-dimensional graphic image. Plane graphics and images mainly include PHOTOSHOP, CORELDRAW, INDESIGN professional typesetting, Tengfei and other software. Photoshop and CorelDRAW are widely used at present and are also the mainstream of industry demand. Three-dimensional graphics and images mainly include AUTO CAD, PRO/E, UG, 3DMAX and other software. Because each software has its own advantages, that is, each software has its own drawing tendency and orientation, so the software used in various industries is different, which forms the diversity of three-dimensional drawing and the diversity and practicability of three-dimensional software development. The following is a brief description of the above two graphic images.
Take the mainstream graphic design software PHOTOSHOP and CORELDRAW as examples. PHOTOSHOP is a graphic image processing software that integrates image scanning, editing and modification, image production, advertising creativity and image input and output, and is deeply loved by graphic designers and computer art lovers. Glenn Knoll, the father of Thomas Knoll, the main designer of Photoshop, is a professor at the University of Michigan and a photographer. His basement is a darkroom. The embryonic program of Photoshop is Display, which has been replaced by today's Photoshop CS5-an updated version. At present, CS5 has many new functions, such as automatic lens correction, support for HDR (high dynamic range) adjustment, area deletion, advanced selection tools, puppet distortion (new function), 64-bit Mac OS X support, brand-new brush system, and processing RAW files in administrative cameras. Photoshop's specialty lies in image processing, not graphic creation. It has a wide range of applications, including images, graphics, characters, videos and publishing. Mainly used in graphic design, photo restoration, advertising photography, image creativity, artistic figures, web page production, architectural renderings, painting or processing three-dimensional stickers, wedding photo design, visual creativity, icon production. These functions are so powerful. But who would have thought that at first, an obscure scanning software came out of the darkroom before that. CORELDRAW, another software introduced in this paper, is a graphic software developed by Corel Canada, one of the top software companies in the world. Its extraordinary design ability is widely used in trademark design, logo making, model drawing, illustration drawing, typesetting and color separation output and many other fields. Its popularity can be illustrated by facts. CorelDRAW is almost installed on PC computers used for commercial design and artistic design. CorelDraw image software is a set of graphics and image editing software, which contains two drawing applications: one for vector graphics and page design, and the other for image editing. This combination of drawing software brings powerful interactive tools for users, which enables users to create various dynamic special effects and real-time effects of dot matrix images in simple operations-without losing their current jobs. CorelDraw's word processing and image input and output constitute the typesetting function. Word processing is the best of all software. It supports the input and output of most image formats. You can exchange files with other software almost unimpeded. Therefore, most artists who use PC do typesetting directly in CorelDraw, and then output in color separation. CorelDRAW makes it easy for you to handle creative graphic design projects. Market-leading file compatibility and high-quality content can help you turn your ideas into professional works: everything from distinctive logos and logos to eye-catching marketing materials and pleasant Web graphics. CorelDRAW has friendly interface design, wide space and meticulous operation. It provides a complete set of drawing tools for designers, including circles, rectangles, polygons, squares, spirals and so on. And cooperate with the shaping tools to make more changes to various foundations, such as rounded rectangles, arcs, sectors, stars, etc. At the same time, special brushes such as pressure pens, writing pens, sprayers and so on. Make full use of the characteristics of large information processing capacity and strong random control ability of computers. I concluded that CorelDRAW's main functions are typesetting and graphic design, which is powerful.
On the other hand, three-dimensional graphics and images, I now mainly use AUTO CAD and PRO/E mechanical drawing. AutoCAD is the latest version of CAD20 10, which is a drawing program developed by Autodesk Company of the United States in the early 1980s to apply CAD technology to microcomputers. After continuous improvement, it has become a widely popular drawing tool in the world. Basic functions: plane drawing, editing graphics and three-dimensional drawing. At present, the main application fields are: engineering drawing: architectural engineering, decoration design, environmental art design, hydropower engineering, civil construction and so on. Industrial drawing: precision parts, molds, equipment, etc. Clothing processing: clothing plate making. Electronic industry: printed circuit board design. Widely used in civil construction, decoration, urban planning, landscape design, electronic circuits, mechanical design, clothing, shoes and hats, aerospace, light industry and chemical industry and many other fields. Its main trend is two-dimensional plane building construction drawing. Compatible with many softwares, compatibility and application skills need not be described in detail, which will be seen in actual combat. The mainstream three-dimensional soft PRO/E and Pro/Engineer operating software is the integrated three-dimensional software of CAD/CAM/CAE under PTC. Pro/Engineer software is famous for its parameterization, and it is the earliest user of parameterization technology. At present, it plays an important role in the field of 3D modeling software. Pro/Engineer, as a new international standard in the field of mechanical CAD/CAE/CAM, has been recognized and popularized by the industry. Pro/E first put forward the concept of parametric design, and used a single database to solve the correlation problem of features. In addition, it adopts a modular way, and users can choose according to their own needs without installing all modules. Pro/E feature-based model can integrate the whole process from design to production, and realize concurrent engineering design. It is not only applicable to workstations, but also to stand-alone computers. Pro/E adopts modular mode, which can be used for sketch drawing, parts making, assembly design, sheet metal design, machining, etc., to ensure that users can choose and use according to their own needs. 1. Parametric design, relative to products, can be regarded as a geometric model, and no matter how complex the geometric model is, it can be decomposed into a limited number of component features, and each component feature can be completely constrained by finite parameters, which is the basic concept of parameterization. 2. Feature-based modeling, Pro/E is a feature-based entity modeling system. Engineers use feature-based functions with intelligent characteristics to generate models, such as cavities, shells, chamfers and fillets. You can sketch at will and change the model easily. This feature provides engineers with unprecedented simplicity and flexibility. 3. A single database Pro/Engineer is built on a unified basis, unlike some traditional CAD/CAM systems built on multiple databases. The so-called single database means that all the data in the project come from one database, so that every independent user is working for a product modeling, no matter which department he is in. In other words, the change of any link in the whole design process can also be reflected in the relevant links in the whole design process. For example, once the engineering details are changed, the NC tool path will be automatically updated; If there is any change in the assembly drawing, it will be exactly reflected in the whole three-dimensional model. The combination of this unique data structure and complete engineering design constitutes a product design. This advantage makes the design more optimized, the quality of finished products higher, the products can be better pushed to the market and the price is cheaper. At present, the latest version is Wildfire version, and the main application of PRO/E is biased towards mechanical drawing and mold modeling. By the way, UG and 3D are mainly used for mechanical drawing. I think the orientation of drawing is similar to PRO/E, and the drawing principle is similar to CAD. The drawing orientation of 3DMAX is mainly used for indoor and outdoor three-dimensional decoration design. At present, its scope is somewhat narrow, and the latest version is 3DMAX9.
Said a lot, I don't know if I can understand. In short, no matter what software is developed and applied, it is practical and practical, and we can easily use it flexibly and conveniently. The software in computer field is very advanced, and it is constantly updated and changed. The better the software is used, the more difficult it is to develop its program. Those deeper truths need many people to explore hard, which is also the progress of our mankind.
