With advances in graphics cards, new features have been added to allow for increased flexibility in the rendering pipeline at the vertex and fragment level. Programmability at this level is achieved with the use of fragment and vertex shaders.
Bricks rendered using PBR. Even though this is a rough, opaque surface, more than just diffuse light is reflected from the brighter side of the material, creating small highlights, because "everything is shiny" in the physically-based rendering model of the real world.
An example of two kinds of shadings: Flat shading on the left and Phong shading on the right. Phong shading is an improvement on Gouraud shading, and was one of the first computer shading models developed after the basic flat shader, greatly enhancing the appearance of curved surfaces in renders.
Scene with shadow mapping Scene with no shadows. Shadow mapping or shadowing projection is a process by which shadows are added to 3D computer graphics.This concept was introduced by Lance Williams in 1978, in a paper entitled "Casting curved shadows on curved surfaces."
The heavy bloom lighting in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 (2005) was described as "disgusting" at the time by GameSpot. [10] Gaming Bolt described the trend as a gimmick that had died with the generation, and criticised the heavy use of the technique in major releases of the time such as The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (2006), the Xbox 360 port of ...
A voxel is a three-dimensional counterpart to a pixel.It represents a value on a regular grid in a three-dimensional space.Voxels are frequently used in the visualization and analysis of medical and scientific data (e.g. geographic information systems (GIS)). [1]

The third image has shading enabled, which makes the image more realistic and makes it easier to see which face is which. Rendered image of a box. This image has no shading on its faces, but instead uses edge lines (also known as wireframe ) to separate the faces and a bolder outline to separate the object from the background.
