Özet
A typical animation scene of a computer animation may include hundreds of mathematically defined objects. Applying Three Dimensional (3D) affine transformations to such scenes requires huge amount of CPU time. In this study, an improved hardware module was designed to speed-up 3D graphic transformations using FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) chips. In the module design, for multiplication and addition operations, 32-bit multipliers and adders formed on FPGA fabric by IP CORE Generator tool were utilized. The module was tested and functionally verified. Module's data processing speed was compared to various PCs and to our previous module design. Results showed that, 3D graphic transformations can be speeded-up by factor of up to 40 times using the designed module compared to the PCs. Employing multipliers and adders formed with Xilinx's IP CORE Generator in the module design provided 1.4 times performance gain over our previous module design. © 2011 Praise Worthy Prize S.r.l. - All rights reserved.
