The following is an example of the scene description language used by POV-Ray to describe a scene to render. It demonstrates the use of a background colour, camera, lights, a simple box shape having a surface normal and finish, and the transforming effects of rotation. POV-Ray image output based on the script
One of the most common problems with programming games that use isometric (or more likely dimetric) projections is the ability to map between events that happen on the 2d plane of the screen and the actual location in the isometric space, called world space. A common example is picking the tile that lies right under the cursor when a user clicks.
Transformations for positioning, rotating, and scaling objects within a scene (allowing parts of the scene to use different local coordinate systems). "Camera" information describing how the scene is being viewed (position, direction, focal length, and field of view) Light information (location, type, brightness, and color)
Mode 7 is a graphics mode on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System video game console that allows a background layer to be rotated and scaled on a scanline-by-scanline basis to create many different depth effects. [1] It also supports wrapping effects such as translation and reflection. [2]
A 3D model can also be displayed as a two-dimensional image through a process called 3D rendering or used in a computer simulation of physical phenomena. 3D models may be created automatically or manually. The manual modeling process of preparing geometric data for 3D computer graphics is similar to plastic arts such as sculpting.
Dodging lightens an image, while burning darkens it. Dodging the image is the same as burning its negative (and vice versa). Dodge modes: The Screen blend mode inverts both layers, multiplies them, and then inverts that result. The Color Dodge blend mode divides the bottom layer by the inverted top layer. This lightens the bottom layer ...

First-person shooter (FPS) games generally provide five degrees of freedom: forwards/backwards, slide left/right, up/down (jump/crouch/lie), yaw (turn left/right), and pitch (look up/down). If the game allows leaning control, then some consider it a sixth DOF; however, this may not be completely accurate, as a lean is a limited partial rotation.
