  2. Terrain cartography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrain_cartography

    Shaded relief, or hill-shading, shows the shape of the terrain in a realistic fashion by showing how the three-dimensional surface would be illuminated from a point light source. The shadows normally follow the convention of top-left lighting in which the light source is placed near the upper-left corner of the map.

  3. Voxel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voxel

    Minecraft is a sandbox video game that uses voxels to store terrain data, [17] but does not use voxel rendering techniques. Instead it uses polygon rendering to display each voxel as a cubic "block". [18] Moonglow Bay is a fishing role-playing video game, released in 2021 and developed by Bunnyhug, using voxel art style.

  4. Physically based rendering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physically_based_rendering

    Specular highlights are high and realistically modeled at the appropriate edge of the tread using a normal map. Physically based rendering (PBR) is a computer graphics approach that seeks to render images in a way that models the lights and surfaces with optics in the real world. It is often referred to as "Physically Based Lighting" or ...

  5. Shadow mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_mapping

    Also, a depth offset which shifts the objects away from the light may be applied to the shadow map rendering in an attempt to resolve stitching problems where the depth map value is close to the depth of a surface being drawn (i.e., the shadow-casting surface) in the next step. Alternatively, culling front faces and only rendering the back of ...

  6. Hachure map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachure_map

    They are a form of shading, although different from the one used in shaded maps. Hachure representation of relief was standardized by the Austrian topographer Johann Georg Lehmann in 1799. [ 1 ] Hachures may be combined with other ways of representing relief, such as shades, the result being a shaded hachure map; an example of such a map is the ...

  7. Deferred shading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deferred_shading

    In the field of 3D computer graphics, deferred shading is a screen-space shading technique that is performed on a second rendering pass, after the vertex and pixel shaders are rendered. [2] It was first suggested by Michael Deering in 1988. [3] On the first pass of a deferred shader, only data that is required for shading computation is gathered.

  9. Shadow volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_volume

    Example of Carmack's stencil shadowing in Doom 3. Shadow volume is a technique used in 3D computer graphics to add shadows to a rendered scene. It was first proposed by Frank Crow in 1977 [1] as the geometry describing the 3D shape of the region occluded from a light source.
