What 2d shape has the maximum area for a given perimeter?

Monday, January 4th, 2010

What 2d shape has the maximum area for a given perimeter (you’re not restricted to just rectangles).
Does this work when there is a maximum area and you are looking for the minimum perimeter?

This isn’t for homework, just found it in a math book and want 2 know out of interest.

A circle gives you the most area for its perimeter (circumference).

This is part of a more general problem called the Isoperimetric inequality:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isoperimetric_inequality

Basically, you can mathematically prove that the closed plane curve of a fixed length that gives you the biggest area, is the curve where each point is the same distance from a fixed point, which is a circle.

I need a study on: What are the cognitive skills developed by preschoolers in 2d platform computer games?

What are the cognitive skills developed by preschoolers in 2d platform computer games?
you can answer it directly if you want.

please provide me some links, books, ebooks(pdf..etc) links or any other resources that i can put in my research bibliography.

I won’t provide you with links because I don’t think Google is broken. Here’s my opinion on the subject:

I think 2d platform computer games teach children eye-hand coordination through the mouse. I think it enhances their spatial skills. Children’s games usually have a subject such as reading, counting, or sorting so those are some cognitive skills they learn as well.
I also think that it teaches them language if the program has sound, and literacy awareness.

How do you gain experience once qualified in 2D CAD?

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

I have recently qualified in 2D CAD city and guilds and I would like to become an architectural CAD technician. I am planning on studying the inventor course in parametric modelling. Is it just a case of writing to companies? Would a company take me on as a trainee and then how far can you progress in your career? Would they for example allow you leave to study?

Learning Inventor will be very little benefit to your resume if you want to do architectural drafting. You need to learn AutoCAD products and/or Revit. If you want to get hired, you will probably have to prove you have at least a decent working knowledge of the software already.

This isn’t a good time to look for this type of job. The architecture industry is a huge mess due to the drop in building construction in the current economy.

Without any college degree in architecture, you won’t go much farther than a draftsperson. That’s not a bad thing - but you asked…

If you can leave - depends a lot on the company.

How do I make 2d objects look like they’re in a 3d environment?

How do I make 2d objects look like they’re in a 3d environment?
Kind of like the video game paper mario. I’m using photoshop and want a 2D object to look like it’s sitting apart from the background. Real cartoony like. If that kind of artwork even has a specific name, what is it?

Basically, light, shadow, perspective, layering.

You can add some depth (and set the scene so your viewer is ready to be ‘fooled’) to the background by using Photoshop layers. Use perspective and lighting - things farther away will be less sharp, smaller in scale, and not as brightly lit as things in the foreground.

If you just want to have your 2d character move between other objects, the simplest way is to create 3 or more layers. have a background of objects, and a foreground of objects, with your character sandwiched in between.

You can help the viewer ’see’ extra depth by adding more layers, or by exposing the side of some objects, and using appropriate shadow / lighting.

I don’t know what this technique (or techniques) would be called.
I love old woodcuts like M C Escher did - they give lots of perspective to fool the eye, and he did that without photoshop layers.

Is there a easy to use 3d program that created a character with 2d image?

Monday, November 9th, 2009

I am trying to learn how to turn my 2d characters into a 3d character. I dont have much experience in doing something like this but I am a very fast learner.

I would suggest using the FREE, very professional animation program called "Blender" to accomplish this.

Is it possible to have a perfectly 2d image in this 3D world?

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Im talking 2 dimensional, full flat, no sides whatsoever. Perfectly 2d.

I am a high school dropout, so maybe I don’t understand this, but wouldn’t a picture on a monitor have no depth? Forgive me if I didn’t understand the question.

How to create 2d array in c++ and fill with random numbers?

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

I have to create a 2d array, with rows representing student ID #’s. There are 2 columns, with one being a math grade (0), the other being a science grade (1). The student ID’s are listed in increasing order, and I have to fill the grades in with random numbers. I then have to be able to enter a ID#, and retrieve the student grades, as well as the class average for each subject.

I’m lost on this one. Any suggestions, help, example codes?

create 2d array

put it in for loop so u fill it up (hard code the values or just fill them up manually)

then create a search method and and pass the array through it so the search method will accept 2d Array and return string or whatever you want, or just print it on the screen.

one more thing you can put the method in a while loop so it keeps running and searching for different ID# till u choose exit

I hope this helps and review your books would help you more!
