  2. Mipmap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mipmap

    In computer graphics, mipmaps (also MIP maps) or pyramids [1] [2] [3] are pre-calculated, optimized sequences of images, each of which is a progressively lower resolution representation of the previous. The height and width of each image, or level, in the mipmap is a factor of two smaller than the previous level.

  3. Normal mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_mapping

    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. It is used to add details without using more polygons . [ 1 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-photorealistic_rendering

    The term non-photorealistic rendering is believed to have been coined by the SIGGRAPH 1990 papers committee, who held a session entitled "Non Photo Realistic Rendering". [1] [2] The term has received some criticism: The term "photorealism" has different meanings for graphics researchers (see "photorealistic rendering") and artists.

  7. Graphics software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_software

    In computer graphics, graphics software refers to a program or collection of programs that enable a person to manipulate images or models visually on a computer. [1] Computer graphics can be classified into two distinct categories: raster graphics and vector graphics, with further 2D and 3D variants. Many graphics programs focus exclusively on ...

    A consistent system of rules and a more or less realistic campaign setting in games aids suspension of disbelief. The level of realism in games ranges from just enough internal consistency to set up a believable story or credible challenge up to full-blown simulations of real-world processes.

  9. Simulation video game - Wikipedia

    Simulation video games are a diverse super-category of video games, generally designed to closely simulate real world activities. [1] A simulation game attempts to copy various activities from real life in the form of a game for various purposes such as training, analysis, prediction, or entertainment.
