2. LightWave 3D - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LightWave_3D

   LightWave is a software package used for rendering 3D images, both animated and static.It includes a fast rendering engine that supports such advanced features as realistic reflection, radiosity, caustics, and 999 render nodes.

3. Reflection (computer graphics) - Wikipedia

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

   Ray-traced model demonstrating specular reflection. Reflection in computer graphics is used to render reflective objects like mirrors and shiny surfaces.. Accurate reflections are commonly computed using ray tracing whereas approximate reflections can usually be computed faster by using simpler methods such as environment mapping.

4. Global illumination - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_illumination

   Global illumination [1] (GI), or indirect illumination, is a group of algorithms used in 3D computer graphics that are meant to add more realistic lighting to 3D scenes. Such algorithms take into account not only the light that comes directly from a light source (direct illumination), but also subsequent cases in which light rays from the same source are reflected by other surfaces in the ...

5. Phong reflection model - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phong_reflection_model

   The Phong reflection model was developed by Bui Tuong Phong at the University of Utah, who published it in his 1975 Ph.D. dissertation. [1] [2] It was published in conjunction with a method for interpolating the calculation for each individual pixel that is rasterized from a polygonal surface model; the interpolation technique is known as Phong shading, even when it is used with a reflection ...

6. Physically based rendering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physically_based_rendering

   Physically based rendering (PBR) is a computer graphics approach that seeks to render images in a way that models the lights and surfaces with optics in the real world. It is often referred to as "Physically Based Lighting" or "Physically Based Shading".

7. Reflection mapping - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_mapping

   An environment texture mapped onto models of spoons, to give the illusion that they are reflecting the world around them. In computer graphics, reflection mapping or environment mapping [1] [2] [3] is an efficient image-based lighting technique for approximating the appearance of a reflective surface by means of a precomputed texture.
