Abstract
The homogeneous model presented here for computer graphics uses the full 8-dimensional Clifford algebra for R3: the even dimensional elements, the quaternions, are the operators, and the odd dimensional elements, which we interpret as mass-points, are the operands. There are, however, other perhaps even simpler alternatives to this basic model.
