Blend modes. A sketch colored digitally with use of several different blend modes in order to preserve the pencil lines and paper texture below the color layers. Blend modes (alternatively blending modes[1] or mixing modes[2]) in digital image editing and computer graphics are used to determine how two layers are blended with each other.
Bitmap textures are digital images that represent surfaces, materials, patterns, or pictures. These textures are created by artists or designers using bitmap editor software such as Adobe Photoshop [ 1] or GIMP, [ 2] or simply by scanning an image and, if necessary, retouching it on a personal computer . Bitmap images are made up of tiny dots ...
Texture mapping Texture mapping is a method for adding detail, surface texture, or colour to a computer-generated graphic or 3D model. Its application to 3D graphics was pioneered by Edwin Catmull in 1974. A texture map is applied (mapped) to the surface of a shape, or polygon. This process is akin to applying patterned paper to a plain white box.
Texture synthesis. Texture synthesis is the process of algorithmically constructing a large digital image from a small digital sample image by taking advantage of its structural content. It is an object of research in computer graphics and is used in many fields, amongst others digital image editing, 3D computer graphics and post-production of ...
Basics of image editing. Raster images are stored in a computer in the form of a grid of picture elements, or pixels. These pixels contain the image's color and brightness information. Image editors can change the pixels to enhance the image in many ways. The pixels can be changed as a group, or individually, by the sophisticated algorithms ...
A matte painting is a painted representation of a landscape, set, or distant location that allows filmmakers to create the illusion of an environment that is not present at the filming location. Historically, matte painters and film technicians have used various techniques to combine a matte-painted image with live-action footage (compositing).
Layers are used in digital image editing to separate different elements of an image. A layer can be compared to a transparency on which imaging effects or images are applied and placed over or under an image. Today they are an integral feature of image editor. Layers were first commercially available in Fauve Matisse (later Macromedia xRes), [1 ...
Normal mapping. Normal mapping used to re-detail simplified meshes. Normal map (a) is baked from 78,642 triangle model (b) onto 768 triangle model (c). This results in a render of the 768 triangle model, (d). In 3D computer graphics, normal mapping, or Dot3 bump mapping, is a texture mapping technique used for faking the lighting of bumps and ...
