Alpha to coverage [1] [2] [3] is a multisampling computer graphics technique, that replaces alpha blending with a coverage mask.This achieves order-independent transparency for when anti-aliasing or semi-transparent textures are used.
A 4×8 texel block is represented by two bits-per-texel for opaque and transparent textures. Each block stores three 20-bit colors stored in a 5555 format. The first and second 20-bit colors are used for the primary colors of the left 4x4 block, while the second and third colors are used for the primary colors of the right 4×4 block.
If the texture is meant to be used in multimedia, 3D animation or web design, they are created in a maximum resolution equal to that of the final display. Vector graphics are an alternative to bitmap images and are made of geometric shapes, lines and curves which rely on mathematical formulas to maintain their shape.
LazPaint is a free and open-source cross-platform [nb 1] lightweight image editor with raster and vectorial layers created with Lazarus.The software aims at being simpler than GIMP, [5] is an alternative to Paint.NET and is also similar to Paintbrush.
Alpha mapping is used when the given object's transparency is not consistent: when the transparency amount is not the same for the entire object and/or when the object is not entirely transparent. If the object has the same level of transparency everywhere, one can either use a solid-color alpha texture or an integer value.
A color spectrum image with an alpha channel that falls off to zero at its base, where it is blended with the background color.. In computer graphics, alpha compositing or alpha blending is the process of combining one image with a background to create the appearance of partial or full transparency. [1]
Example of texture splatting, except an additional alphamap is applied. In computer graphics, texture splatting is a method for combining different textures.It works by applying an alphamap (also called a "weightmap" or a "splat map") to the higher levels, thereby revealing the layers underneath where the alphamap is partially or completely transparent.
In computing, a bitmap (also called raster) graphic is an image formed from rows of different colored pixels. [1] A GIF is an example of a graphics image file that uses a bitmap.
