Can a sphere be represented in form of 2D?
Can you provide an example of when sphere projection is used in computer graphics?
Sure! In video games, spheres are often used to represent game characters or objects, and they need to be represented in two dimensions for display on a computer screen. This is achieved using rendering techniques such as ray-tracing, which calculate the behavior of light rays bouncing off of the sphere and project that onto a two-dimensional plane.
