  2. Hidden-surface determination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden-surface_determination

    Incidentally, this also makes the objects completely transparent when the viewpoint camera is located inside them, because then all the surfaces of the object are facing away from the camera and are culled by the renderer. To prevent this the object must be set as double-sided (i.e. no back-face culling is done) or have separate inside surfaces.

  3. High-dynamic-range rendering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-dynamic-range_rendering

    The use of high-dynamic-range imaging (HDRI) in computer graphics was introduced by Greg Ward in 1985 with his open-source Radiance rendering and lighting simulation software which created the first file format to retain a high-dynamic-range image. HDRI languished for more than a decade, held back by limited computing power, storage, and ...

  4. Order-independent transparency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order-independent_transparency

    Commonly, 3D geometry with transparency is rendered by blending (using alpha compositing) all surfaces into a single buffer (think of this as a canvas).Each surface occludes existing color and adds some of its own color depending on its alpha value, a ratio of light transmittance.

  5. Metamaterial cloaking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamaterial_cloaking

    Cloaking applications which employ metamaterials alter how objects interact with the electromagnetic spectrum. The guiding vision for the metamaterial cloak is a device that directs the flow of light smoothly around an object, like water flowing past a rock in a stream, without reflection, rendering the object invisible. In reality, the simple ...

  6. Invisibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invisibility

    An object in this state is said to be invisible (literally, "not visible"). The phenomenon is studied by physics and perceptual psychology . Since objects can be seen by light from a source reflecting off their surfaces and hitting the viewer's eyes , the most natural form of invisibility (whether real or fictional) is an object that neither ...

  7. Transparency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency

    Transparency, transparence or transparent most often refer to: Transparency (optics) , transmitting light (Note: Many of the articles listed below use "transparency" metaphorically, meaning that everything is visible, nothing is hidden.)

  8. Transparent ceramics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparent_ceramics

    Transparent armor is a material or system of materials designed to be optically transparent, yet protect from fragmentation or ballistic impacts. The primary requirement for a transparent armor system is to not only defeat the designated threat but also provide a multi-hit capability with minimized distortion of surrounding areas.
