  2. Lime render - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lime_Render

    Lime render is the first coat of lime "plaster or the like" [1] applied to the external surfaces of traditionally-built stone or brick buildings. It allows the building to 'breathe' – as lime is porous, it allows for the collection and evaporation of moisture .

  3. Whitewash - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitewash

    Lime wash is pure slaked lime in water. It produces a unique surface glow due to the double refraction of calcite crystals. Limewash and whitewash both cure to become the same material. When whitewash or limewash is initially applied, it has very low opacity, which can lead novices to overthicken the paint. Drying increases opacity and ...

  4. Harling (wall finish) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harling_(wall_finish)

    Harling is a rough-cast wall finish consisting of lime and aggregate, known for its rough texture. [1] Many castles and other buildings in Scotland and Ulster have walls finished with harling. It is also used on contemporary buildings, where it protects against the wet Scottish and Ulster climates and eliminates the need for paint.

  5. Draw distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draw_distance

    The influence of different draw distances (Higher distances show more area.) In computer graphics, draw distance (render distance or view distance) is the maximum distance of objects in a three-dimensional scene that are drawn by the rendering engine.

  6. Silicate mineral paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicate_mineral_paint

    Silicate paints are incombustible and free of organic additives or solvents (DIN 18363 Painting and coating work Section 2.4.1). Silicate paints are highly color-tone stable. As they are solely colored with mineral pigments that do not fade with exposure to UV radiation, the silicate paint coats remain constant in color for decades.

  7. 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.

  8. Flood fill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_fill

    For case #2, a path leading out of the area exists. Paint the pixel the painter is standing upon and move in the direction of the open path. For case #3, the two boundary pixels define a path which, if we painted the current pixel, may block us from ever getting back to the other side of the path.

  9. 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.
