  2. OpenGL Shading Language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL_Shading_Language

    Shaders are written in OpenGL Shading Language and compiled. The compiled programs are executed on the GPU. OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) is a high-level shading language with a syntax based on the C programming language. It was created by the OpenGL ARB (OpenGL Architecture Review Board) to give developers more direct control of the graphics ...

  3. High-Level Shader Language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Level_Shader_Language

    The High-Level Shader Language[1] or High-Level Shading Language[2] (HLSL) is a proprietary shading language developed by Microsoft for the Direct3D 9 API to augment the shader assembly language, and went on to become the required shading language for the unified shader model of Direct3D 10 and higher. HLSL is analogous to the GLSL shading ...

  4. Mesa (computer graphics) - Wikipedia

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

    Mesa, also called Mesa3D and The Mesa 3D Graphics Library, is an open source implementation of OpenGL, Vulkan, and other graphics API specifications. Mesa translates these specifications to vendor-specific graphics hardware drivers. Its most important users are two graphics drivers mostly developed and funded by Intel and AMD for their ...

  5. WebGL - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebGL

    v. t. e. WebGL (short for Web Graphics Library) is a JavaScript API for rendering interactive 2D and 3D graphics within any compatible web browser without the use of plug-ins. [2] WebGL is fully integrated with other web standards, allowing GPU -accelerated usage of physics, image processing, and effects in the HTML canvas.

  6. Shader - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shader

    Shaders are simple programs that describe the traits of either a vertex or a pixel. Vertex shaders describe the attributes (position, texture coordinates, colors, etc.) of a vertex, while pixel shaders describe the traits (color, z-depth and alpha value) of a pixel. A vertex shader is called for each vertex in a primitive (possibly after ...

  7. 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. Feasible and quick approximations of the ...

  8. OpenGL - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL

    opengl.org. OpenGL (Open Graphics Library[4]) is a cross-language, cross-platform application programming interface (API) for rendering 2D and 3D vector graphics. The API is typically used to interact with a graphics processing unit (GPU), to achieve hardware-accelerated rendering.

  9. Minecraft (franchise) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minecraft_(franchise)

    Minecraft is a 3D survival sandbox game developed and published by Mojang, spanning multiple platforms. It was first released by the independent video game designer Markus Persson in 2009, before giving the development to Jens Bergensten in 2011 after the game's full 1.0 update. The game has no specific goals to accomplish, allowing players a ...
