WordDefinition
parallax mapping(also called offset mapping or virtual displacement mapping) an enhancement of the bump mapping or normal mapping techniques applied to textures in 3D rendering applications such as video games.
texture mappinga method for mapping a texture on a computer-generated graphic.
3d computer graphics3D computer graphics, sometimes called CGI, 3-D-CGI or three-dimensional computer graphics, are graphics that use a three-dimensional representation of geometric data (often Cartesian) that is stored in the computer for the purposes of performing calculations and rendering digital images, usually 2D images but sometimes 3D images.
global illuminationnoun(computer graphics) The realistic lighting of a rendered scene by means of algorithms that take into account not only the direct illumination from light sources but also the indirect cases where light is reflected between surfaces in the scene.
texture compressiona specialized form of image compression designed for storing texture maps in 3D computer graphics rendering systems.
shadernoun(computer graphics) A set of software instructions used to calculate rendering effects on graphics hardware.
high-dynamic-range renderingHigh-dynamic-range rendering (HDRR or HDR rendering), also known as high-dynamic-range lighting, is the rendering of computer graphics scenes by using lighting calculations done in high dynamic range.
bloomnoun(uncountable) The opening of flowers in general; the state of blossoming or of having the flowers open.
sparse voxel octreeA sparse voxel octree is a 3D computer graphics rendering technique using a raycasting or sometimes a ray tracing approach into an octree data representation.
screen space ambient occlusiona computer graphics technique for efficiently approximating the ambient occlusion effect in real time.
image tracingIn computer graphics, image tracing, raster-to-vector conversion or raster vectorization is the conversion of raster graphics into vector graphics.
dot matrix printingDot matrix printing, sometimes called impact matrix printing, is a computer printing process in which ink is applied to a surface using a relatively low-resolution dot matrix for layout.
lightmapnoun(computer graphics) A precomputed data structure that stores the brightnesses of surfaces in a video game, etc.
rasterisationnounAlternative spelling of rasterization. [The process of taking an image described in a vector graphics format (shapes) and converting it into a raster image.]
tiled renderingthe process of subdividing a computer graphics image by a regular grid in optical space and rendering each section of the grid, or tile, separately.
2d computer graphicsthe computer-based generation of digital images—mostly from two-dimensional models (such as 2D geometric models, text, and digital images) and by techniques specific to them.
scanline rendering(also scan line rendering and scan-line rendering) an algorithm for visible surface determination, in 3D computer graphics, that works on a row-by-row basis rather than a polygon-by-polygon or pixel-by-pixel basis.
computer-generated imagerya specific-technology or application of computer graphics for creating or improving images in art, printed media, simulators, videos and video games.
computer stereo visionthe extraction of 3D information from digital images, such as those obtained by a CCD camera.
