  2. List of rendering APIs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rendering_APIs

    Rendering APIs typically provide just enough functionality to abstract a graphics accelerator, focussing on rendering primitives, state management, command lists/command buffers; and as such differ from fully fledged 3D graphics libraries, 3D engines (which handle scene graphs, lights, animation, materials etc.), and GUI frameworks; Some provide fallback software rasterisers, which were ...

  3. Physically based rendering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physically_based_rendering

    A diamond plate texture rendered close-up using physically based rendering principles. Microfacet abrasions cover the material, giving it a rough, realistic look even though the material is a metal. Specular highlights are high and realistically modeled at the appropriate edge of the tread using a normal map.

  4. Texture mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_mapping

    This method is also well suited for rendering quad primitives rather than reducing them to triangles, which provided an advantage when perspective correct texturing was not available in hardware. This is because the affine distortion of a quad looks less incorrect than the same quad split into two triangles (see affine texture mapping above ...

  5. Superhydrophobic coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superhydrophobic_coating

    Durable water repellent is a type of fabric coating to protect them from water. In addition, superhydrophobic coatings have potential uses in vehicle windshields to prevent rain droplets from clinging to the glass, to improve driving visibility. Rain repellent sprays are commercially available for car windshields. [14] [15]

  6. RenderScript - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renderscript

    RenderScript is designed to always run on the various Android platforms regardless of hardware type. Performance tuning is done at runtime. RenderScript portability depends upon device-specific drivers: [4] a basic CPU-only driver is provided for every device, while there exist some specific chipset-provided RenderScript drivers that enable GPU usage (e.g. Qualcomm specific drivers, which are ...

  7. Server-side scripting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server-side_scripting

    Those scripts were executed by the operating system, and the results were served back by the web server. Many modern web servers can directly execute on-line scripting languages such as ASP , JSP , Perl , PHP and Ruby either by the web server itself or via extension modules (e.g. mod_perl or mod_php ) to the webserver.

  8. Pre-rendering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-rendering

    Pre-rendering is the process in which video footage is not rendered in real-time by the hardware that is outputting or playing back the video. Instead, the video is a recording of footage that was previously rendered on different equipment (typically one that is more powerful than the hardware used for playback).

  9. Cement render - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement_render

    The lime makes the render more workable and reduces cracking when the render dries. Any general purpose cement can be used. Various additives can be added to the mix to increase adhesion. Coarser sand is used in the base layer and slightly finer sand in the top layer. The application process resembles the process of applying paint.
