  2. Isometric video game graphics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_video_game_graphics

    Isometric video game graphics are graphics employed in video games and pixel art that use a parallel projection, but which angle the viewpoint to reveal facets of the environment that would otherwise not be visible from a top-down perspective or side view, thereby producing a three-dimensional (3D) effect.

  3. Sprite (computer graphics) - Wikipedia

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

    Some 2.5D games, such as 1993's Doom, allow the same entity to be represented by different sprites depending on its rotation relative to the viewer, furthering the illusion of 3D. Fully 3D games usually present world objects as 3D models , but sprites are supported in some 3D game engines , such as GoldSrc [ 17 ] and Unreal , [ 18 ] and may be ...

  4. Shadow volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_volume

    Shadow volume is a technique used in 3D computer graphics to add shadows to a rendered scene. It was first proposed by Frank Crow in 1977 [1] as the geometry describing the 3D shape of the region occluded from a light source. A shadow volume divides the virtual world in two: areas that are in shadow and areas that are not.

  5. Away3D - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Away3D

    Away3D is an open-source ActionScript 3 engine for developing interactive 3D graphics within Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR. Away3D runs on current web browsers utilizing the Adobe Flash Player, and uses Stage3D for GPU-accelerated rendering. [citation needed] The engine can render 3D models and perform various other 3D computations.

  6. 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 ...

  8. Texture atlas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_atlas

    In computer graphics, a texture atlas (also called a spritesheet or an image sprite in 2D game development) is an image containing multiple smaller images, usually packed together to reduce overall dimensions. [1] An atlas can consist of uniformly-sized images or images of varying dimensions. [1]

  9. Deferred shading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deferred_shading

    In the field of 3D computer graphics, deferred shading is a screen-space shading technique that is performed on a second rendering pass, after the vertex and pixel shaders are rendered. [2] It was first suggested by Michael Deering in 1988. [3] On the first pass of a deferred shader, only data that is required for shading computation is gathered.
