  2. Shading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shading

    In computer graphics, shading refers to the process of altering the color of an object/surface/polygon in the 3D scene, based on things like (but not limited to) the surface's angle to lights, its distance from lights, its angle to the camera and material properties (e.g. bidirectional reflectance distribution function) to create a ...

  3. Overhead projector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_projector

    The opaque projector, or episcope is a device which displays opaque materials by shining a bright lamp onto the object from above. The episcope must be distinguished from the diascope , which is a projector used for projecting images of transparent objects (such as films or slides), and from the epidiascope , which is capable of projecting ...

    The opaque projector, or episcope is a device which displays opaque materials by shining a bright lamp onto the object from above. The episcope must be distinguished from the diascope , which is a projector used for projecting images of transparent objects (such as films), and from the epidiascope , which is capable of projecting images of both ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projector

    Henry Morton's projection as illustrated in François Moigno's L'art des projections (1872) Swiss mathematician, physicist, astronomer, logician and engineer Leonhard Euler demonstrated an opaque projector, now commonly known as an episcope, around 1756. It could project a clear image of opaque images and (small) objects. [35]

  6. Blend modes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blend_modes

    This is the standard blend mode which uses the top layer alone, [3] without mixing its colors with the layer beneath it: [example needed] (,) =where a is the value of a color channel in the underlying layer, and b is that of the corresponding channel of the upper layer.

  7. Glaze (painting technique) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaze_(painting_technique)

    Scumble is a technique similar to glazing, except that the coating is opaque, and is just painted on very thinly to allow bits of the paint below to shine through. Scumbling works by a principle similar to that used by pointillists, mixing colors optically. While most painters glaze with dark colors, scumbling is more popularly used for lighter ...

  8. Opacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opacity

    An opaque substance transmits no light, and therefore reflects, scatters, or absorbs all of it. Other categories of visual appearance, related to the perception of regular or diffuse reflection and transmission of light, have been organized under the concept of cesia in an order system with three variables, including opacity, transparency and ...

  9. Alpha compositing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_compositing

    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]
