  2. Winston cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winston_cone

    A Winston cone is a non-imaging light collector in the shape of an off-axis parabola of revolution [1] [2] with a reflective inner surface. It concentrates the light passing through a relatively large entrance aperture through a smaller exit aperture. [ 3 ]

  3. Up in the Gallery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_in_the_Gallery

    Up in the Gallery. If some frail tubercular lady circus rider were to be driven in circles around and around the arena for months and months without interruption in front of a tireless public on a swaying horse by a merciless whip-wielding master of ceremonies, spinning on the horse, throwing kisses and swaying at the waist, and if this performance, amid the incessant roar of the orchestra and ...

  4. Light cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_cone

    If using a system of units where the speed of light in vacuum is defined as exactly 1, for example if space is measured in light-seconds and time is measured in seconds, then, provided the time axis is drawn orthogonally to the spatial axes, as the cone bisects the time and space axes, it will show a slope of 45°, because light travels a ...

  5. Crystal Cubism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Cubism

    These 1919 works (e.g., Cones and Spheres, Abstract Sculpture, Balas, pp. 30–41) [42] are made of juxtaposing sequences of rhythmic geometric forms, where light and shadow, mass and the void, play a key role. Though almost entirely abstract, they allude, occasionally, to the structure of the human body or modern machines, but the semblance ...

  6. Jacques Pugin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Pugin

    He is one of the precursors [1] of the Light Painting technique, which consists in capturing luminous traces during the photographic process, either via direct exposure of the sensor to the light source, or else to a lit subject. Jacques constructs his images by intervening either in the actual capturing process (incamera) or in post-production ...

  7. Computer graphics lighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_graphics_lighting

    Computer graphics lighting is the collection of techniques used to simulate light in computer graphics scenes. While lighting techniques offer flexibility in the level of detail and functionality available, they also operate at different levels of computational demand and complexity.

  8. Luminism (American art style) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminism_(American_art_style)

    Fitz Henry Lane, Lumber Schooners at Evening on Penobscot Bay, 1863, National Gallery of Art. Luminism is a style of American landscape painting of the 1850s to 1870s, characterized by effects of light in a landscape, through the use of aerial perspective and the concealing of visible brushstrokes. Luminist landscapes emphasize tranquility ...

  9. Volumetric lighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_lighting

    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". As a result, light has the capability to give the effect of passing through an actual three-dimensional aerosol (e.g. fog, dust, smoke, or steam) that is inside its volume, just like in the real world.
