  2. Draw distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draw_distance

    Draw distance requires definition because a processor having to render objects out to an infinite distance would slow down the application to an unacceptable speed. [1] As the draw distance increases, more distant polygons need to be drawn onto the screen that would regularly be clipped .

  3. Mipmap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mipmap

    The increase in storage space required for all of these mipmaps is a third of the original texture, because the sum of the areas 1/4 + 1/16 + 1/64 + 1/256 + ⋯ converges to 1/3. In the case of an RGB image with three channels stored as separate planes, the total mipmap can be visualized as fitting neatly into a square area twice as large as ...

  4. Distance fog - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_fog

    Distance fog is a technique used in 3D computer graphics to enhance the perception of distance by shading distant objects differently. [1]Because many of the shapes in graphical environments are relatively simple, and complex shadows are difficult to render, many graphics engines employ a "fog" gradient so objects further from the camera are progressively more obscured by haze and by aerial ...

  5. Field of view in video games - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_of_view_in_video_games

    Console games are usually played on a TV at a large distance from the viewer, while PC games are usually played on computer monitors close to the viewer. Therefore, a narrow FOV of around 60 degrees is used for console games as the screen subtends a small part of the viewer's visual field, and a larger FOV of 90 to 100 degrees is usually set ...

  6. Texture mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_mapping

    A texture map [5] [6] is an image applied (mapped) to the surface of a shape or polygon. [7] This may be a bitmap image or a procedural texture.They may be stored in common image file formats, referenced by 3D model formats or material definitions, and assembled into resource bundles.

  8. Z-fighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-fighting

    As the distance between near and far clip planes increases, and in particular the near plane is selected near the eye, the greater the likelihood exists that z-fighting between primitives will occur. With large virtual environments inevitably there is an inherent conflict between the need to resolve visibility in the distance and in the ...

    Also isometric graphics. Graphic rendering technique of three-dimensional objects set in a two-dimensional plane of movement. Often includes games where some objects are still rendered as sprites. 360 no-scope A 360 no-scope usually refers to a trick shot in a first or third-person shooter video game in which one player kills another with a sniper rifle by first spinning a full circle and then ...
