| dc.description.abstract | The Clockworks is an object-oriented computer animation system developed at RPl's Center for Interactive Computer Graphics (CICG). The Clockworks has the ability to model and graphically simulate complex 3-D engineering processes, Its interactive capabilities also allow it be used as a design tool. Object-oriented concepts have been utilized in developing its high level architecture and its low level implementation. The Clockworks is defined as a collection of objects which communicate with the user and each other via messages. The actual implementation involved the creation of an object-oriented programming methodology using C and Unix. The complete system provides a rich research environment for exploring modelling, scripting and rendering. It also provides an interactive environment for design and a simulation environment for visual analysis of complex interacting structures. | en_US |
