Edge lines have been rendered here as well which makes the image easier to see. The second image is the same model rendered without edge lines. It is difficult to tell where one face of the box ends and the next begins. The third image has shading enabled, which makes the image more realistic and makes it easier to see which face is which.
He described sfumato as "without lines or borders, in the manner of smoke". [ 1 ] According to the theory of the art historian Marcia B. Hall , [ 2 ] which has gained considerable acceptance, [ 3 ] sfumato is one of four modes of painting colours available to Italian High Renaissance painters, along with cangiante , chiaroscuro , and unione .
This allows shading to occur only in mid-tones so that edge lines and highlights remain visually prominent. The Gooch shader is typically implemented in two passes: all objects in the scene are first drawn with the "cool to warm" shading, and in the second pass the object’s edges are rendered in black.
An example of two kinds of shadings: Flat shading on the left and Phong shading on the right. Phong shading is an improvement on Gouraud shading, and was one of the first computer shading models developed after the basic flat shader, greatly enhancing the appearance of curved surfaces in renders.
Subsurface scattering is an indirect form of reflection where some of the light is transmitted into a semi-transparent material, scattered under the surface and bounced back out again.

Cel shading or toon shading is a type of non-photorealistic rendering designed to make 3D computer graphics appear to be flat by using less shading color instead of a shade gradient or tints and shades. A cel shader is often used to mimic the style of a comic book or cartoon and/or give the render a characteristic paper-like texture. [1]
Any hidden-line algorithm has to determine the union of Θ(n) hidden intervals on n edges in the worst case. As Ω( n log n ) is a lower bound for determining the union of n intervals, [ 13 ] it appears that the best one can hope to achieve is Θ( n 2 log n ) worst-case time, and hence Nurmi's algorithm is optimal.
