Mipmapping is a standard technique used to save some of the filtering work needed during texture minification. [2] It is also highly beneficial for cache coherency - without it the memory access pattern during sampling from distant textures will exhibit extremely poor locality, adversely affecting performance even if no filtering is performed.
Laplacian smoothing is an algorithm to smooth a polygonal mesh. [1] [2] For each vertex in a mesh, a new position is chosen based on local information (such as the position of neighbours) and the vertex is moved there.
Blender 4.3 splash screen. Blender is a free and open-source 3D computer graphics software tool set that runs on Windows, macOS, BSD, Haiku, IRIX and Linux. It is used for creating animated films, visual effects, art, 3D-printed models, motion graphics, interactive 3D applications, and virtual reality. It is also used in creating video games.
S3 Texture Compression (S3TC) (sometimes also called DXTn, DXTC, or BCn) is a group of related lossy texture compression algorithms originally developed by Iourcha et al. of S3 Graphics, Ltd. [1] [2] for use in their Savage 3D computer graphics accelerator.
Smoothstep is a family of sigmoid-like interpolation and clamping functions commonly used in computer graphics, [1] [2] video game engines, [3] and machine learning. [ 4 ] The function depends on three parameters, the input x , the "left edge" and the "right edge", with the left edge being assumed smaller than the right edge.
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.
In two dimensions, it is the product of two such Gaussian functions, one in each dimension: [1] [2] [3] (,) = + where x is the distance from the origin in the horizontal axis, y is the distance from the origin in the vertical axis, and σ is the standard deviation of the Gaussian distribution. It is important to note that the origin on these ...
In 3D computer graphics, a smoothing group is a group of polygons in a polygon mesh which should appear to form a smooth surface. [1] Smoothing groups are useful for describing shapes where some polygons are connected smoothly to their neighbors, and some are not.
