    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skybox_(video_games)

    A skybox is a method of creating backgrounds to make a video game level appear larger than it really is. [1] When a skybox is used, the level is enclosed in a cuboid.The sky, distant mountains, distant buildings, and other unreachable objects are projected onto the cube's faces (using a technique called cube mapping), thus creating the illusion of distant three-dimensional surroundings.

  3. Cube mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_mapping

    Example of a texture that can be mapped to the faces of a cubic skybox, with faces labelled. Perhaps the most advanced application of cube mapping is to create pre-rendered panoramic sky images which are then rendered by the graphical engine as faces of a cube at practically infinite distance with the view point located in the center of the cube.

    Sketchfab is a 3D asset website used to publish, share, discover, buy and sell 3D, VR and AR content. It provides a viewer based on the WebGL and WebXR technologies that allows users to display 3D models on the web, to be viewed on any mobile browser , desktop browser or Virtual Reality headset .

  5. 3D rendering - Wikipedia

  7. Wire-frame model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire-frame_model

    In 3D computer graphics, a wire-frame model (also spelled wireframe model) is a visual representation of a three-dimensional (3D) physical object. It is based on a polygon mesh or a volumetric mesh, created by specifying each edge of the physical object where two mathematically continuous smooth surfaces meet, or by connecting an object's constituent vertices using (straight) lines or curves.

  8. Higher-order abstract syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher-order_abstract_syntax

    An abstract syntax is abstract because it is represented by mathematical objects that have certain structure by their very nature. For instance, in first-order abstract syntax (FOAS) trees, as commonly used in compilers, the tree structure implies the subexpression relation, meaning that no parentheses are required to disambiguate programs (as they are, in the concrete syntax).

  9. Category theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_theory

    Topos theory is a form of abstract sheaf theory, with geometric origins, and leads to ideas such as pointless topology. Categorical logic is now a well-defined field based on type theory for intuitionistic logics , with applications in functional programming and domain theory , where a cartesian closed category is taken as a non-syntactic ...
