Zebra analysis
From HandWiki
Short description: Diagnostic shading technique
Zebra analysis, or zebra striping, is a diagnostic shading technique used in computer graphics to visualize curvature on smooth surfaces.[1] It is primarily used for computer-aided design (CAD), where it helps checking that surfaces meet smoothly. It is a simulation of the visual effect of placing an object in a tunnel lit by parallel rows of lights, or a perfectly reflecting object in a room with striped walls.
Implementation
Zebra striping has been implemented in a number of CAD and non-CAD products, including (but not limited to) Fusion 360,[2] Autodesk Inventor,[3] AutoCAD,[4] Rhinoceros 3D,[5] , Plasticity, and SolidWorks.[6] It can be implemented as an environment map using radiating pie wedges as the source texture.
