  2. Cube mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_mapping

    Cube maps provide a fairly straightforward and efficient solution to rendering stable specular highlights. Multiple specular highlights can be encoded into a cube map texture, which can then be accessed by interpolating across the surface's reflection vector to supply coordinates. Relative to computing lighting at individual vertices, this ...

  3. Aeronautical chart conventions (United States) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeronautical_chart...

    The charts are published "in accordance with Interagency Air Cartographic Committee specifications and agreements, approved by the Department of Defense and the Federal Aviation Administration". The legend of an aeronautical chart lists many of the symbols, colors and codes used to convey information to the map reader.

  4. Map coloring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_coloring

    In cartographic design, map coloring is the act of choosing colors as a form of map symbol to be used on a map. Color is a very useful attribute to depict different features on a map. [ 1 ] Typical uses of color include displaying different political divisions, different elevations, or different kinds of roads.

  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. Specularity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specularity

    CG Artists, confused by this term discovered by experimentation that the manipulation of this parameter would cause a reflected highlight from a light source to appear and disappear and therefore misinterpreted "specularity" to mean "light highlights". In fact "Specular" is defined in optics as Optics.

  7. Physically based rendering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physically_based_rendering

    Specular highlights are high and realistically modeled at the appropriate edge of the tread using a normal map. 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 ...

  8. Equirectangular projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equirectangular_projection

    Equirectangular projection of the world; the standard parallel is the equator (plate carrée projection). Equirectangular projection with Tissot's indicatrix of deformation and with the standard parallels lying on the equator True-colour satellite image of Earth in equirectangular projection Height map of planet Earth at 2km per pixel, including oceanic bathymetry information, normalized as 8 ...

    It indicates how to give color to geographic areas (common geopolitical delimitations: nations, regions, etc.). With the following steps: Choose the colors to paint the areas. Choose for one of two possibilities: Paint the areas of a blank map. Indicate that areas are still painted (only for maps of the world).
