The Blender Game Engine was a free and open-source 3D production suite used for making real-time interactive content. It was previously embedded within Blender , but support for it was dropped in 2019, with the release of Blender 2.8.
Immediate mode is an API design pattern in computer graphics libraries, in which . the client calls directly cause rendering of graphics objects to the display, or in which; the data to describe rendering primitives is inserted frame by frame directly from the client into a command list (in the case of immediate mode primitive rendering),
The word "rendering" (in one of its senses) originally meant the task performed by an artist when depicting a real or imaginary thing (the finished artwork is also called a "rendering"). Today, to "render" commonly means to generate an image or video from a precise description (often created by an artist) using a computer program. [1] [2] [3] [4]
An example of bloom in a picture taken with a camera. Note the blue fringe that is particularly noticeable along the right edge of the window. Bloom (sometimes referred to as light bloom or glow ) is a computer graphics effect used in video games , demos , and high-dynamic-range rendering (HDRR) to reproduce an imaging artifact of real-world ...
An architectural render showing different rendering styles in Blender, including a photorealistic style using Cycles Lunar Crater Radio Telescope conceptual design with the Moon and Earth rendered in Blender. Blender includes three render engines since version 2.80: EEVEE, Workbench and Cycles. Cycles is a path tracing render engine.
Rendering software may simulate such visual effects as lens flares, depth of field or motion blur. These are attempts to simulate visual phenomena resulting from the optical characteristics of cameras and of the human eye. These effects can lend an element of realism to a scene, even if the effect is merely a simulated artifact of a camera.
Back-face culling has been used since at least the 1970s. [6] It has been used in many video games, including the original 1984 BBC Micro version of the game Elite. [7] By the mid 1990s, many graphics systems could implement back-face culling in hardware.
The idea of deferred shading was originally introduced by Michael Deering and his colleagues in a paper [3] published in 1988 titled The triangle processor and normal vector shader: a VLSI system for high performance graphics. Although the paper never uses the word "deferred", a key concept is introduced; each pixel is shaded only once after ...
