Some implementations attempt to pack multiple lightmaps together in a process known as atlasing [3] to help circumvent these limitations. Lightmap resolution and scale are two different things. The resolution is the area, in pixels, available for storing one or more surface's lightmaps.
BC7 specifically can also use "bc7prep", a lossless pass to re-encode the texture in a more compressible form (requiring its inverse at decompression). [11] crunch is another tool that performs RDO and optionally further re-encoding. [12] In 2021, Microsoft produced a "BCPack" compression algorithm specifically for BCn-compressed textures.
An illustration of texture filtering methods showing a texture with trilinear mipmapping (left) and anisotropic texture filtering. In 3D computer graphics, anisotropic filtering (AF) [1] [2] is a technique that improves the appearance of textures, especially on surfaces viewed at sharp angles.
As an example, when a picture is taken indoors, the brightness of outdoor objects seen through a window may be 70 or 80 times brighter than objects inside the room. If exposure levels are set for objects inside the room, the bright image of the windows will bleed past the window frames when convolved with the Airy disc of the camera being used ...
The Tanaka (relief) contours technique is a method used to illuminate contour lines in order to help visualize terrain. Lines are highlighted or shaded depending on their relationship to a light source in the Northwest. If the object being illustrated would shadow a section of contour line, that contour would be represented with a black band.
Tone mapped high-dynamic-range (HDR) image of St. Kentigerns Roman Catholic Church in Blackpool, Lancashire, England, UK. Tone mapping is a technique used in image processing and computer graphics to map one set of colors to another to approximate the appearance of high-dynamic-range (HDR) images in a medium that has a more limited dynamic range.
Ericsson Texture Compression (ETC) is a lossy texture compression technique developed in collaboration with Ericsson Research in early 2005. It was originally developed under the name iPACKMAN [ 1 ] and based on an earlier compression scheme called i PACKMAN .
Specular highlights on a pair of spheres. A specular highlight is the bright spot of light that appears on shiny objects when illuminated (for example, see image on right). ). Specular highlights are important in 3D computer graphics, as they provide a strong visual cue for the shape of an object and its location with respect to light sources in the
