  2. Computer graphics lighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_graphics_lighting

    A directional source (or distant source) uniformly lights a scene from one direction. [4] Unlike a point source, the intensity of light produced by a directional source does not change with distance over the scale of the scene, as the directional source is treated as though it is extremely far away. [4]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-dynamic-range_rendering

    When this light is reflected the result must then be less than or equal to 1.0. However, in HDR rendering, very bright light sources can exceed the 1.0 brightness to simulate their actual values. This allows reflections off surfaces to maintain realistic brightness for bright light sources.

  4. LightWave 3D - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LightWave_3D

    LightWave is a software package used for rendering 3D images, both animated and static.It includes a fast rendering engine that supports such advanced features as realistic reflection, radiosity, caustics, and 999 render nodes.

  5. Ray tracing (graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_tracing_(graphics)

    The color of the pixel now depends on the colors of the first and second diffuse surface and the color of the light emitted from the light source. For example, if the light source emitted white light and the two diffuse surfaces were blue, then the resulting color of the pixel is blue.

  6. Global illumination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_illumination

    Global illumination [1] (GI), or indirect illumination, is a group of algorithms used in 3D computer graphics that are meant to add more realistic lighting to 3D scenes. Such algorithms take into account not only the light that comes directly from a light source (direct illumination), but also subsequent cases in which light rays from the same source are reflected by other surfaces in the ...

  7. Volumetric lighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_lighting

    In volumetric lighting, the light cone emitted by a light source is modeled as a transparent object and considered as a container of a "volume". As a result, light has the capability to give the effect of passing through an actual three-dimensional aerosol (e.g. fog, dust, smoke, or steam) that is inside its volume, just like in the real world.

  8. Radiosity (computer graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiosity_(computer_graphics)

    There is only one source of light: an image of the sky placed outside the window. The difference is marked. The room glows with light. Soft shadows are visible on the floor, and subtle lighting effects are noticeable around the room. Furthermore, the red color from the carpet has bled onto the grey walls, giving them a slightly warm appearance.

  9. Path tracing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_tracing

    An image rendered using path tracing, demonstrating notable features of the technique. Path tracing is a rendering algorithm in computer graphics that simulates how light interacts with objects, voxels, and participating media to generate realistic (physically plausible) images.
