  2. Static mesh - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_mesh

    Static meshes are polygon meshes which constitute a major part of map architecture in many game engines, including Unreal Engine, Source, and Unity. The word "static" refers only to the fact that static meshes can't be vertex animated , as they can be moved, scaled, or reskinned in real-time.

  3. Unreal Engine 5 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unreal_Engine_5

    Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) is the latest version of Unreal Engine developed by Epic Games.It was revealed in May 2020 and officially released in April 2022. Unreal Engine 5 includes multiple upgrades and new features, including Nanite, a system that automatically adjusts the level of detail of meshes, and Lumen, a dynamic global illumination and reflections system that leverages software as well as ...

  5. Skeletal animation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletal_animation

    Skeletal animation or rigging is a technique in computer animation in which a character (or other articulated object) is represented in two parts: a polygonal or parametric mesh representation of the surface of the object, and a hierarchical set of interconnected parts (called joints or bones, and collectively forming the skeleton), a virtual ...

  6. Mesh generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesh_generation

    Mesh generation is deceptively difficult: it is easy for humans to see how to create a mesh of a given object, but difficult to program a computer to make good decisions for arbitrary input a priori. There is an infinite variety of geometry found in nature and man-made objects. Many mesh generation researchers were first users of meshes.

  7. Polygon mesh - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygon_mesh

    Face-vertex meshes represent an object as a set of faces and a set of vertices. This is the most widely used mesh representation, being the input typically accepted by modern graphics hardware. Face-vertex meshes improve on VV-mesh for modeling in that they allow explicit lookup of the vertices of a face, and the faces surrounding a vertex.

  8. Normal mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_mapping

    In 1978 Jim Blinn described how the normals of a surface could be perturbed to make geometrically flat faces have a detailed appearance. [2] The idea of taking geometric details from a high polygon model was introduced in "Fitting Smooth Surfaces to Dense Polygon Meshes" by Krishnamurthy and Levoy, Proc. SIGGRAPH 1996, [3] where this approach was used for creating displacement maps over nurbs.

  9. Gouraud shading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gouraud_shading

    Gouraud-shaded triangle mesh using the Phong reflection model. Gouraud shading (/ ɡ uː ˈ r oʊ / goo-ROH), named after Henri Gouraud, is an interpolation method used in computer graphics to produce continuous shading of surfaces represented by polygon meshes.
