Ray-cast image of idealized universal joint with shadow. Ray casting is the methodological basis for 3D CAD/CAM solid modeling and image rendering. It is essentially the same as ray tracing for computer graphics where virtual light rays are "cast" or "traced" on their path from the focal point of a camera through each pixel in the camera sensor to determine what is visible along the ray in the ...
Once common, isometric projection became less so with the advent of more powerful 3D graphics systems, and as video games began to focus more on action and individual characters. [1] However, video games using isometric projection—especially computer role-playing games—have seen a resurgence in recent years within the indie gaming scene. [1 ...
A grid applied within an image (instead of a page) using additional angular lines to guide proportions. In graphic design, a grid is a structure (usually two-dimensional) made up of a series of intersecting straight (vertical, horizontal, and angular) or curved lines (grid lines) used to structure content.
The computer graphics pipeline, also known as the rendering pipeline, or graphics pipeline, is a framework within computer graphics that outlines the necessary procedures for transforming a three-dimensional (3D) scene into a two-dimensional (2D) representation on a screen. [1]
For a grid map from a video game, using the Taxicab distance or the Chebyshev distance becomes better depending on the set of movements available (4-way or 8-way). If the heuristic h satisfies the additional condition h ( x ) ≤ d ( x , y ) + h ( y ) for every edge ( x , y ) of the graph (where d denotes the length of that edge), then h is ...
Once there is a machine-readable bitmap, the image can be imported into a graphics editing program (such as Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, or Inkscape). Then a person can manually trace the elements of the image using the program's editing features. Curves in the original image can be approximated with lines, arcs, and Bézier curves.
Illustration by Jessie Willcox Smith (1863–1935). An illustration is a decoration, interpretation, or visual explanation of a text, concept, or process, [1] designed for integration in print and digitally published media, such as posters, flyers, magazines, books, teaching materials, animations, video games and films.
Exchanging the background of a video clip with a Compositing tool A composite image of a basketball shot, with six basketballs added to the initial image to depict the arc of the shot. Compositing is the process or technique of combining visual elements from separate sources into single images, often to create the illusion that all those ...
