| Abstract: |
Modern education technology can be characterized by particular emphasis on visual thinking and specific computer-based notions and means is emerging that brings constantly rising demand creation of visual images and devising their underlying models. The need in compact precise models with unlimited complexity has lead to the newly emerging paradigm of procedural modeling and rendering, where object's shape and properties are locally evaluated on request using a "black box" procedure. One of the possibilities to represent an object procedurally is to evaluate a real function defining the geometric shape and other real functions defining object's properties at the given point. In this article a constructive approach to creation of such function evaluation procedures for geometric shapes and object properties is considered in terms of educational technology. This approach that assumes an initial programming in a simple language with subsequent creating an underlying model, generating its images and finally fabricating a real object of that model is considered as an educational technology for not only children and students but also for researchers, artists, and designers. |
