  2. Shadow mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_mapping

    The first step is to find the coordinates of the object as seen from the light, as a 3D object only uses 2D coordinates with axis X and Y to represent its geometric shape on screen, these vertex coordinates will match up with the corresponding edges of the shadow parts within the shadow map (depth map) itself. The second step is the depth test ...

  3. Viewing frustum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viewing_frustum

    A view frustum The appearance of an object in a pyramid of vision When creating a parallel projection, the viewing frustum is shaped like a box as opposed to a pyramid.. In 3D computer graphics, a viewing frustum [1] or view frustum [2] is the region of space in the modeled world that may appear on the screen; it is the field of view of a perspective virtual camera system.

  4. Far Lands or Bust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far_Lands_or_Bust

    Far Lands or Bust (abbreviated FLoB) is an online video series created by Kurt J. Mac in which he plays the video game Minecraft.The series depicts his journey to the "Far Lands", a distant area of a Minecraft world in which the terrain generation does not function correctly, creating a warped landscape.

  5. Ray tracing (graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_tracing_(graphics)

    In a subsequent pass, rays are traced from the eye into the scene to determine the visible surfaces, and the photon map is used to estimate the illumination at the visible surface points. [ 24 ] [ 25 ] The advantage of photon mapping versus bidirectional path tracing is the ability to achieve significant reuse of photons, reducing computation ...

    The comet will become the largest visible object in our solar system (after the moon, obviously). On Saturday, the comet was about 6 degrees above the west-southwest horizon about 45 minutes after ...

  7. Field of view - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_of_view

    In the context of human and primate vision, the term "field of view" is typically only used in the sense of a restriction to what is visible by external apparatus, like when wearing spectacles [1] or virtual reality goggles. Note that eye movements are allowed in the definition but do not change the field of view when understood this way.

  8. Normal mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_mapping

    The sign of the z-coordinate (blue channel) must be flipped to match the normal map's normal vector with that of the eye (the viewpoint or camera) or the light vector. Since negative z values mean that the vertex is in front of the camera (rather than behind the camera) this convention guarantees that the surface shines with maximum strength ...

  9. Veil Nebula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veil_Nebula

    The standard explanation is that the shock waves are so thin, less than one part in 50,000 of the radius, [15] that the shell is visible only when viewed exactly edge-on, giving the shell the appearance of a filament. At the estimated distance of 2400 light-years, the nebula has a radius of 65 light-years (a diameter of 130 light-years).
