Forms of digital graphics in computer games
  • Characters - Put textures over the 3d models to make them look differently.I can disginush facial features and body parts.
  • Guns - Put textures on guns to make a gun look differently. This can help someone see what gun it is so they know what gun to use. This is important so it looks like its meant to and not a random object.
  • Environment - Put textures on the environment to make it look better. The textures on trees , buildings , paths , backgrounds etc. Without this levels will look bland and boring. They need to look good so people enjoy looking at them and want to play the game.
  • Buildings - The look of buildings are important because they need variation. One building repeated over is boring to look at and around. The graphics also makes it look damages , derelict etc. This adds depth and story to each specific building. It can also help a goal e.g go to the red builing or chaple. The look of it will help the player find it easier.
  • Bullets - The textures on the bullets is important if slo-mo is in the game so you can see bullets flying through the air. Also bullets on the floor when shooting so it looks realistic.
  • Items - The graphics on items is important is so the player knows what their picking up such as health pack or armor etc. Without this the player could be picking up any item. The graphics also need to be clear and easy to read in tough situations.
  • Explosions - The explosion graphics is important as they need to be big and bright. Without a graphic it would just be boring. They can be used on an explosive barrel or a rocket launcher.
  • Animations - The animation graphic is one of the most important in the game because without it , the character won't look like its moving for example. This needs to be separate for each character object etc. 
  • Packaging
  • Writing

Fixed 3d , First-person perspective and third-person perspective
  • 2d
Parallel projection, top-down perspective ,side-scrolling game and 2.5D (3/4 perspective)

They use textures on 3d models and that what makes up the visuals. Over the years the resolution and pixels of the texture have changed. The use of the graphics in games is very important as without it the game wouldn't be as appealing or interesting to play.
