High-quality and low-quality interactive graphics represent two different approaches to computer graphics' 3D object representation. The former is mainly used to produce high computational cost movie animation.
The latter is used for producing interactive scenes as part of virtual reality environments. Many file format specifications have appeared to satisfy underlying model needs; POV-ray (persistence of vision) is an open source specification for rendering photorealistic images with the ray tracer algorithm and X3D (extendable 3D) as the VRML successor standard for producing web virtual-reality environments written in XML. X3d2pov has been introduced to render high-quality images from an X3D scene specification; it is a grammar translator tool from X3D code to POV-ray code.
El problema de representar objetos tridimensionales en medios digitales es un campo de estudio en computación gráfica que presenta diversos enfoques de solución. Hoy en día existen herramientas que permiten llevar a cabo esta representación de objetos, teniendo en cuenta el tipo de aplicación que se requiera. X3D (extensible 3D) es un estándar extensible que puede ser soportado fácilmente por Web Browsers y que está diseñado para ser de alto rendimiento, con el fin de conseguir una interacción eficiente del usuario con el modelo en tiempo real. El trazador de rayos POV-Ray (Persistence of Vision Raytracer), por el contrario, genera imágenes tridimensionales fotorrealistas de alta calidad con un bajo rendimiento. En este artículo se expone el diseño de una solución en desarrollo que pretende facilitar la traducción del código XML utilizado para la representación de objetos descritos mediante el estándar X3D a código interpretable por el trazador de rayos POV-Ray, con el fin de conseguir generar dichos objetos con una alta calidad.
