To know why exactly we use the name of the Modern Computer Graphics, let us first read some basic definitions.

Basic definitions

Graphics are visual presentations on some surface, such as a wall, canvas, screen, paper, or stone to brand, inform, illustrate, or entertain. Graphics can be functional or artistic.

Computer graphics is a sub-field of computer science which studies methods for digitally synthesizing and manipulating visual content. Although the term often refers to the study of three-dimensional computer graphics, it also encompasses two-dimensional graphics and image processing.

Meanwhile, Modern Computer Graphics has more in common with the concept of creating images of Renaissance painters such as Leonardo da Vinci, than the graphics in the popular sense of the word. Remember that the image we create in the brain, not in your eyes.

Modern Computer Graphics is a new meta-language. (T. Szuba)

Meta-language is any language used to describe another language.

Modern Computer Graphics as meta-language

To justify that the Modern Computer Graphics is a metalanguage, let’s look at how film Avatar was created:

1. First developed by scientists fictional, but logically consistent world of Pandora. This world can be described literary to describe or define it by building a formal system (language). Created for the film, even a new language of the natives, who at the time of release had about 1000 words.
Interesting...
Language Na'vi was developed by linguist Paul Frommer in 2009. After the premiere of the film, language continues to develop.

2. Modern Computer Graphics with all its methodology, tools, etc. is a complex tool based on a computer system with sufficient capacity.

Interesting...
In the film Avatar the computer rendering the scene was a massive cluster of 40 thousand processor equipped with 104 TB of RAM. Calculations were performed on GPUs, not the classic CPU, where are placed  new graphics engine PantaRay.


In the result Modern Computer Graphics with effective tools for simulation of of physical phenomena can directly define any such world. It means that Modern Computer Graphics can describe object language, for the realization of the graphics.

Summary

Modern Computer Graphic should become an independent science, a discipline that develops independently of the other disciplines, such as generally understood science. The Modern Computer Graphics „dictates what it needs’, and inspires further development of science.
