Did you know?
A free e-card is similar to a postcard or greeting card, with the primary difference being it is created using digital media instead of paper or other traditional materials. They are made available by publishers usually on various Internet sites, where they can be sent to a recipient, usually via e-mail.
Free e-cards are digital "content", which makes them much more versatile than traditional greeting cards. For example unlike traditional greetings, free e-cards can be easily sent to many people at once or extensively personalized by the sender. Conceivably they could be saved to any computer or electronic device or even viewed on a television set, however free e-card digital content has not yet progressed as far as digital video or digital audio in terms of varied usage.
Typically a free e-card sender chooses from an on-line catalog of free e-cards made available on a publisher's web site. After selecting a card, the sender can personalize it to various degrees by adding a message, photo, or video. Finally the sender specifies the recipient's e-mail address and the web site delivers an e-mail message on behalf of the sender to the recipient.
This technology has improved significantly since 1996 around the time of their inception. One technical aspect that has remained mostly contstant is the delivery mechanism: The e-mail received by the recipient contains not the free e-card itself, but an individually coded link back to the publisher's web site that displays sender's card exactly as it was originally configured.
The 3d modeling stage could be described as shaping individual objects that are later used in the scene. There exist a number of 3d modeling techniques, including, but not limited to the following:
constructive solid geometry
NURBS 3d modeling
polygonal 3d modeling
subdivision surfaces
implicit surfaces
