  2. Draw distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draw_distance

    The influence of different draw distances (Higher distances show more area.) In computer graphics, draw distance (render distance or view distance) is the maximum distance of objects in a three-dimensional scene that are drawn by the rendering engine.

  3. Whitewash - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitewash

    Lime wash is pure slaked lime in water. It produces a unique surface glow due to the double refraction of calcite crystals. Limewash and whitewash both cure to become the same material. When whitewash or limewash is initially applied, it has very low opacity, which can lead novices to overthicken the paint. Drying increases opacity and ...

    In distemper painting, "the carbonate of lime, or whitening employed as a basis, is less active than the pure lime of fresco... to give adhesion to the tints and colours in distemper painting, and to make them keep their place, they are variously mixed with the size of glue (prepared commonly by dissolving about four ounces [110 g] of glue in ...

  6. Cement render - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement_render

    The lime makes the render more workable and reduces cracking when the render dries. Any general purpose cement can be used. Various additives can be added to the mix to increase adhesion. Coarser sand is used in the base layer and slightly finer sand in the top layer. The application process resembles the process of applying paint.

  7. Silicate mineral paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicate_mineral_paint

    The binder is a combination of silica sol and water glass. The organic fraction is limited to 5 mass percent similar to dispersion silicate paint allowing for chemical setting and retaining of the silicate specific advantages. The sol silicate paint allows use on non-mineral plaster. [4] For these the bonding occurs chemically and physically.

  8. Harling (wall finish) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harling_(wall_finish)

    Harling is a rough-cast wall finish consisting of lime and aggregate, known for its rough texture. [1] Many castles and other buildings in Scotland and Ulster have walls finished with harling. It is also used on contemporary buildings, where it protects against the wet Scottish and Ulster climates and eliminates the need for paint.

  9. Texture mapping - Wikipedia

    A texture map [5] [6] is an image applied (mapped) to the surface of a shape or polygon. [7] This may be a bitmap image or a procedural texture.They may be stored in common image file formats, referenced by 3D model formats or material definitions, and assembled into resource bundles.
