  2. Cube mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_mapping

    The lower left image shows a scene with a viewpoint marked with a black dot. The upper image shows the net of the cube mapping as seen from that viewpoint, and the lower right image shows the cube superimposed on the original scene. In computer graphics, cube mapping is a method of environment mapping that uses the six faces of a cube as the ...

  3. Texture mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_mapping

    Texture mapping [1] [2] [3] is a method for mapping a texture on a computer-generated graphic. "Texture" in this context can be high frequency detail , surface texture , or color . History

  4. UV mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV_mapping

    UV mapping is the 3D modeling process of projecting a 3D model's surface to a 2D image for texture mapping. The letters "U" and "V" denote the axes of the 2D texture because "X", "Y", and "Z" are already used to denote the axes of the 3D object in model space, while "W" (in addition to XYZ) is used in calculating quaternion rotations, a common ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_mapping

    Computer mapping may refer to any mapping procedure done with the aid of computers: in computer graphics. 3D projection; texture mapping, normal mapping, tone mapping, ... etc. in geography geographic information system. Web mapping; Generic Mapping Tools; any of various methods in bioinformatics that have to do with gene mapping

  6. Normal mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_mapping

    Normal map (a) is baked from 78,642 triangle model (b) onto 768 triangle model (c). This results in a render of the 768 triangle model, (d). In 3D computer graphics, normal mapping, or Dot3 bump mapping, is a texture mapping technique used for faking the lighting of bumps and dents – an implementation of bump mapping.

  7. Texture mapping unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_mapping_unit

    In computer graphics, a texture mapping unit (TMU) is a component in modern graphics processing units (GPUs). They are able to rotate, resize , and distort a bitmap image to be placed onto an arbitrary plane of a given 3D model as a texture, in a process called texture mapping .

    Graphics represented as a rectangular grid of pixels. Rasterization Converting vector graphics to raster graphics. This terms also denotes a common method of rendering 3D models in real time. Ray casting Rendering by casting non-recursive rays from the camera into the scene. 2D ray casting is a 2.5D rendering method. Ray marching

  9. Bump mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bump_mapping

    Bump mapping [1] is a texture mapping technique in computer graphics for simulating bumps and wrinkles on the surface of an object. This is achieved by perturbing the surface normals of the object and using the perturbed normal during lighting calculations. The result is an apparently bumpy surface rather than a smooth surface, although the ...
