  2. Shader - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shader

    Vertex shaders describe the attributes (position, texture coordinates, colors, etc.) of a vertex, while pixel shaders describe the traits (color, z-depth and alpha value) of a pixel. A vertex shader is called for each vertex in a primitive (possibly after tessellation); thus one vertex in, one (updated) vertex out. Each vertex is then rendered ...

  3. Blinn–Phong reflection model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blinn–Phong_reflection_model

    The Blinn–Phong reflection model, also called the modified Phong reflection model, is a modification developed by Jim Blinn to the Phong reflection model. [1]Blinn–Phong is a shading model used in OpenGL and Direct3D's fixed-function pipeline (before Direct3D 10 and OpenGL 3.1), and is carried out on each vertex as it passes down the graphics pipeline; pixel values between vertices are ...

  4. UV mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV_mapping

    UV texturing is an alternative to projection mapping (e.g., using any pair of the model's X, Y, Z coordinates or any transformation of the position); it only maps into a texture space rather than into the geometric space of the object. The rendering computation uses the UV texture coordinates to determine how to paint the three-dimensional surface.

  5. Shadow mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_mapping

    The first step is to find the coordinates of the object as seen from the light, as a 3D object only uses 2D coordinates with axis X and Y to represent its geometric shape on screen, these vertex coordinates will match up with the corresponding edges of the shadow parts within the shadow map (depth map) itself. The second step is the depth test ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Graphics pipeline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_pipeline

    This calculated matrix is known as the 'world matrix,' essential for each object in the scene before rendering. The application can then dynamically alter these matrices, such as updating the aircraft's position with each frame based on speed. The matrix calculated in this way is also called the world matrix. It must be determined for each ...

  8. Shading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shading

    When a shader computes the result color, it uses a lighting model to determine the amount of light reflected at specific points on the surface. Different lighting models can be combined with different shading techniques — while lighting says how much light is reflected, shading determines how this information is used in order to compute the ...

  9. Texel (graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texel_(graphics)

    The location can be in world space, but typically it is local to a model space so that the texture moves with the model. A projector function is applied to the location to change the location from a three-element vector ( ( u , v , z ) {\displaystyle \left(u,v,z\right)} ) to a two-element ( ( x , y ) {\displaystyle \left(x,y\right)} ) vector ...
