  2. Isometric video game graphics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_video_game_graphics

    One of the most common problems with programming games that use isometric (or more likely dimetric) projections is the ability to map between events that happen on the 2d plane of the screen and the actual location in the isometric space, called world space. A common example is picking the tile that lies right under the cursor when a user clicks.

  3. Level of detail (computer graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_of_detail_(computer...

    In computer graphics, level of detail (LOD) refers to the complexity of a 3D model representation. [1] [2] [3] LOD can be decreased as the model moves away from the viewer or according to other metrics such as object importance, viewpoint-relative speed or position.

  4. UV mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV_mapping

    UV mapping is the 3D modeling process of projecting a 3D model's surface to a 2D image for texture mapping. The letters "U" and "V" denote the axes of the 2D texture because "X", "Y", and "Z" are already used to denote the axes of the 3D object in model space, while "W" (in addition to XYZ) is used in calculating quaternion rotations, a common ...

  5. Soft-body dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft-body_dynamics

    The nodes may either derive from the edges of a two-dimensional polygonal mesh representation of the surface of the object, or from a three-dimensional network of nodes and edges modeling the internal structure of the object (or even a one-dimensional system of links, if for example a rope or hair strand is being simulated). Additional springs ...

  6. Rendering (computer graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendering_(computer_graphics)

    Description of how object and camera locations and other information change over time, for rendering an animation; Many file formats exist for storing individual 3D objects or "models". These can be imported into a larger scene, or loaded on-demand by rendering software or games.

    Unity Software Inc. (doing business as Unity Technologies) [3] is an American video game software development company based in San Francisco. It was founded in Denmark in 2004 as Over the Edge Entertainment and changed its name in 2007.

  8. Entity component system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entity_component_system

    Components are a specialized case under the general delegation approach and meta-object protocol. That is, any complete component object system can be expressed with the templates and empathy model within The Orlando Treaty [2] vision of object-oriented programming. Entity: An entity represents a general-purpose object. In a game engine context ...

  9. PLY (file format) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLY_(file_format)

    The file starts with the header which defines a file in ASCII format. There are 14 vertices (6 faces * 4 vertices - 10 vertices saved due to merging) and 6 faces in total. After the header, the vertex and face data is listed. The vertex list contains position (x,y,z), normals (nx,ny,nz) and texture coordinates (s,t) for each of the 14 vertices.
