THE TRANSFORMATIVE IMPACT OF ADVANCED GRAPHICS TECHNOLOGIES AND COMPUTER-GENERATED IMAGERY IN CIVIL ENGINEERING
Keywords:
graphics, virtual reality, augmented reality, 3D modelling, civil engineeringAbstract
The present study explores how modern graphics technology and computer-generated imagery (CGI) are revolutionizing the field of civil engineering. With an emphasis on 3D modelling, the study investigates how virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and 3D modelling may transform project design and communication. The research explores how these graphic tools improve planning, analysis, and presentation in civil engineering projects through case studies and software innovations. The construction of safer, more creative, and visually striking infrastructure projects is aided by the integration of CGI, which also enhances visualization and makes decision-making more effective. The important developments at the junction of civil engineering and graphics are highlighted in this study.
