Draw distance requires definition because a processor having to render objects out to an infinite distance would slow down the application to an unacceptable speed. [1] As the draw distance increases, more distant polygons need to be drawn onto the screen that would regularly be clipped .
A form of level of detail management has been applied to texture maps for years, under the name of mipmapping, also providing higher rendering quality. It is commonplace to say that "an object has been LOD-ed " when the object is simplified by the underlying LOD-ing algorithm as well as a 3D modeler manually creating LOD models.
A normal pointing to right of the texture (1,0,0) is mapped to (255,128,128). Hence the right edge of an object is usually light red. A normal pointing to top of the texture (0,1,0) is mapped to (128,255,128). Hence the top edge of an object is usually light green. A normal pointing to left of the texture (-1,0,0) is mapped to (0,128,128).
Mipmapping is a standard technique used to save some of the filtering work needed during texture minification. [2] It is also highly beneficial for cache coherency - without it the memory access pattern during sampling from distant textures will exhibit extremely poor locality, adversely affecting performance even if no filtering is performed.
In computer graphics, the render output unit (ROP) or raster operations pipeline is a hardware component in modern graphics processing units (GPUs) and one of the final steps in the rendering process of modern graphics cards.
A simple tessellation pipeline rendering a smooth sphere from a crude cubic vertex set using a subdivision method. In computer graphics, tessellation is the dividing of datasets of polygons (sometimes called vertex sets) presenting objects in a scene into suitable structures for rendering.
Current generation gaming systems are able to render 3D graphics using floating-point frame buffers, in order to produce HDR images. To produce the bloom effect, the linear HDRR image in the frame buffer is convolved with a convolution kernel in a post-processing step, before converting to RGB space. The convolution step usually requires the ...
In the field of 3D computer graphics, Multiple Render Targets, or MRT, is a feature of modern graphics processing units (GPUs) that allows the programmable rendering pipeline to render images to multiple render target textures at once. These textures can then be used as inputs to other shaders or as texture maps applied to 3D models.
