  2. Bloom (shader effect) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_(shader_effect)

    Bloom (sometimes referred to as light bloom or glow) is a computer graphics effect used in video games, demos, and high-dynamic-range rendering (HDRR) to reproduce an imaging artifact of real-world cameras. The effect produces fringes (or feathers) of light extending from the borders of bright areas in an image, contributing to the illusion of ...

  3. Order-independent transparency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order-independent_transparency

    Order-independent transparency (OIT) is a class of techniques in rasterisational computer graphics for rendering transparency in a 3D scene, which do not require rendering geometry in sorted order for alpha compositing.

  4. Volumetric lighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_lighting

    The term seems to have been introduced from cinematography and is now widely applied to 3D modeling and rendering, especially in the development of 3D video games. [citation needed] In volumetric lighting, the light cone emitted by a light source is modeled as a transparent object and considered as a container of a "volume".

  5. Chromium (computer graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_(computer_graphics)

    Chromium can be used to make polygons an application renders transparent. Via stream manipulation, Chromium can make non-stereoscopic applications stereoscopic. High performance, sort-last configurations. Chromium can be used to split an OpenGL command stream, so that different machines can do different parts of the rendering work.

  6. Z-buffering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-buffering

    Z-buffering is a technique used in almost all contemporary computers, laptops, and mobile phones for generating 3D computer graphics. The primary use now is for video games, which require fast and accurate processing of 3D scenes. Z-buffers are often implemented in hardware within consumer graphics cards. Z-buffering is also used (implemented ...

  7. List of rendering APIs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rendering_APIs

    Rendering APIs typically provide just enough functionality to abstract a graphics accelerator, focussing on rendering primitives, state management, command lists/command buffers; and as such differ from fully fledged 3D graphics libraries, 3D engines (which handle scene graphs, lights, animation, materials etc.), and GUI frameworks; Some provide fallback software rasterisers, which were ...

  8. Physically based rendering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physically_based_rendering

    Physically based rendering (PBR) is a computer graphics approach that seeks to render images in a way that models the lights and surfaces with optics in the real world. It is often referred to as "Physically Based Lighting" or "Physically Based Shading". Many PBR pipelines aim to achieve photorealism.
