  2. Sleep mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_mode

    Sleep mode has gone by various names, including Stand By, Suspend and Suspend to RAM. Machine state is held in RAM and, when placed in sleep mode, the computer cuts power to unneeded subsystems and places the RAM into a minimum power state, just sufficient to retain its data. Because of the large power saving, most laptops automatically enter ...

  3. Computer graphics lighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_graphics_lighting

    Computer graphics lighting is the collection of techniques used to simulate light in computer graphics scenes. While lighting techniques offer flexibility in the level of detail and functionality available, they also operate at different levels of computational demand and complexity. Graphics artists can choose from a variety of light sources ...

  4. Retained mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retained_mode

    Retained mode in computer graphics is a major pattern of API design in graphics libraries, [1] in which . the graphics library, instead of the client, retains the scene (complete object model of the rendering primitives) to be rendered and

    The sleep mode on your computer is designed to keep the machine on while drawing a small amount of power. This only costs about $50 more per year on your electric bill, which seems low, but the ...

  6. Rendering equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendering_equation

    The rendering equation describes the total amount of light emitted from a point x along a particular viewing direction, given a function for incoming light and a BRDF.. In computer graphics, the rendering equation is an integral equation in which the equilibrium radiance leaving a point is given as the sum of emitted plus reflected radiance under a geometrical optics approximation.

    Immediate mode is an API design pattern in computer graphics libraries, in which . the client calls directly cause rendering of graphics objects to the display, or in which; the data to describe rendering primitives is inserted frame by frame directly from the client into a command list (in the case of immediate mode primitive rendering),

  9. Ambient occlusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambient_occlusion

    In 3D computer graphics, modeling, and animation, ambient occlusion is a shading and rendering technique used to calculate how exposed each point in a scene is to ambient lighting. For example, the interior of a tube is typically more occluded (and hence darker) than the exposed outer surfaces, and becomes darker the deeper inside the tube one ...
