  2. Texture mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_mapping

    A texture map [5] [6] is an image applied (mapped) to the surface of a shape or polygon. [7] This may be a bitmap image or a procedural texture.They may be stored in common image file formats, referenced by 3D model formats or material definitions, and assembled into resource bundles.

  3. Alpha compositing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_compositing

    A color spectrum image with an alpha channel that falls off to zero at its base, where it is blended with the background color.. In computer graphics, alpha compositing or alpha blending is the process of combining one image with a background to create the appearance of partial or full transparency. [1]

  4. Moiré pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moiré_pattern

    This can be overcome in texture mapping through the use of mipmapping and anisotropic filtering. The drawing on the upper right shows a moiré pattern. The lines could represent fibers in moiré silk, or lines drawn on paper or on a computer screen.

  5. Ben Day process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Day_process

    The Ben Day process is a printing and photoengraving technique for producing areas of gray or (with four-color printing) various colors by using fine patterns of ink on the paper. It was developed in 1879 [ 1 ] by illustrator and printer Benjamin Henry Day Jr. (son of 19th-century publisher Benjamin Henry Day ). [ 2 ]

  6. Cube mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_mapping

    A cube texture indexes six texture maps from 0 to 5 in order Positive X, Negative X, Positive Y, Negative Y, Positive Z, Negative Z. [5] [6] The images are stored with the origin at the lower left of the image. The Positive X and Y faces must reverse the Z coordinate and the Negative Z face must negate the X coordinate.

  7. Rule of thirds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thirds

    The rule of thirds is applied by aligning a subject with the guide lines and their intersection points, placing the horizon on the top or bottom line, or allowing linear features in the image to flow from section to section.

  8. 3D projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_projection

    A 3D projection (or graphical projection) is a design technique used to display a three-dimensional (3D) object on a two-dimensional (2D) surface. These projections rely on visual perspective and aspect analysis to project a complex object for viewing capability on a simpler plane.

  9. Lossy compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossy_compression

    Composite image showing JPG and PNG image compression. Left side of the image is from a low-quality JPEG image, showing lossy artefacts; the right side is from a PNG image. In information technology , lossy compression or irreversible compression is the class of data compression methods that uses inexact approximations and partial data ...
