A Minecraft mod is a mod that changes aspects of the sandbox game Minecraft. Minecraft mods can add additional content to the game, make tweaks to specific features, and optimize performance. Thousands of mods for the game have been created, with some mods even generating an income for their authors.
GLSL shaders themselves are simply a set of strings that are passed to the hardware vendor's driver for compilation from within an application using the OpenGL API's entry points. Shaders can be created on the fly from within an application, or read-in as text files, but must be sent to the driver in the form of a string.
The shader assembly language in Direct3D 8 and 9 is the main programming language for vertex and pixel shaders in Shader Model 1.0/1.1, 2.0, and 3.0. It is a direct representation of the intermediate shader bytecode which is passed to the graphics driver for execution.
Shaders provide a programmable alternative to this hard-coded approach. [4] The basic graphics pipeline is as follows: The CPU sends instructions (compiled shading language programs) and geometry data to the graphics processing unit, located on the graphics card. Within the vertex shader, the geometry is transformed.
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.
Subsurface scattering is an indirect form of reflection where some of the light is transmitted into a semi-transparent material, scattered under the surface and bounced back out again.
UID (similar to Apple's UUID): a 16 digit string of characters, which can identify the individual beacon. This UID can activate an installed Mobile App. TLM: sensor and administrative data from the beacon itself is communicated through telemetry. Currently, examples include the beacon's battery level and its temperature. Advantages:
Leading lights, also known as range lights in the United States, are a pair of light beacons used in navigation [2] to indicate a safe passage for vessels entering a shallow or dangerous channel; they may also be used for position fixing. At night, the lights are a form of leading line that can be used for safe navigation. The beacons consist ...
