  2. Specular highlight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specular_highlight

    Specular highlights on a pair of spheres. A specular highlight is the bright spot of light that appears on shiny objects when illuminated (for example, see image on right). ). Specular highlights are important in 3D computer graphics, as they provide a strong visual cue for the shape of an object and its location with respect to light sources in the

    Specular exponent Controls the glossiness in the Phong shading model. Specular highlights In shading, specular highlight is a bright highlight caused by specular reflections, more prominent on metallic surfaces. These highlights depend on the viewer's position as well as the position of the light source and surface normal. Spline

  4. 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.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Phong shading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phong_shading

    Phong shading assumes a smoothly varying surface normal vector. The Phong interpolation method works better than Gouraud shading when applied to a reflection model with small specular highlights such as the Phong reflection model. The most serious problem with Gouraud shading occurs when specular highlights are found in the middle of a large ...

  7. Gouraud shading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gouraud_shading

    The problem is easily spotted in a rendering which ought to have a specular highlight moving smoothly across the surface of a model as it rotates. Gouraud shading will instead produce a highlight continuously fading in and out across neighboring portions of the model, peaking in intensity when the intended specular highlight aligns with a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_processor_(electronic...

    Word processors are descended from the Friden Flexowriter, which had two punched tape stations and permitted switching from one to the other (thus enabling what was called the "chain" or "form letter", one tape containing names and addresses, and the other the body of the letter to be sent).
