SpecularitySpecularity is the visual appearance of specular reflections. In computer graphics, it means the quantity used in three-dimensional (3D) rendering which represents the amount of reflectivity a surface has. It is a key component in determining the brightness of specular highlights, along with shininess to determine the size of the highlights. It is frequently used in real-time computer graphics and ray tracing, where the mirror-like specular reflection of light from other surfaces is often ignored (due to the more intensive computations required to calculate it), and the specular reflection of light directly from point light sources is modeled as specular highlights.
3D rendering3D rendering is the 3D computer graphics process of converting 3D models into 2D images on a computer. 3D renders may include photorealistic effects or non-photorealistic styles. Rendering is the final process of creating the actual 2D image or animation from the prepared scene. This can be compared to taking a photo or filming the scene after the setup is finished in real life. Several different, and often specialized, rendering methods have been developed.
Ombrage de PhongLe terme ombrage de Phong désigne à la fois le modèle d'illumination de Phong et linterpolation de Phong, deux algorithmes de traitement 3D en infographie. Tous les deux furent développés par Bui Tuong Phong et publiés en 1973. L'illumination de Phong est un modèle local, c'est-à-dire que le calcul se fait en chaque point. Ce modèle empirique n'a rien d'exact, mais permet de calculer de manière crédible la lumière réfléchie par le point étudié, pour cela il combine trois éléments : la lumière ambiante, la lumière diffuse (modèle lambertien) et la lumière spéculaire (voir Réflexion optique).
Flexible displayA flexible display or rollable display is an electronic visual display which is flexible in nature, as opposed to the traditional flat screen displays used in most electronic devices. In recent years there has been a growing interest from numerous consumer electronics manufacturers to apply this display technology in e-readers, mobile phones and other consumer electronics. Such screens can be rolled up like a scroll without the image or text being distorted.
Tiled renderingTiled rendering is the process of subdividing a computer graphics image by a regular grid in optical space and rendering each section of the grid, or tile, separately. The advantage to this design is that the amount of memory and bandwidth is reduced compared to immediate mode rendering systems that draw the entire frame at once. This has made tile rendering systems particularly common for low-power handheld device use.
3D displayA 3D display is a display device capable of conveying depth to the viewer. Many 3D displays are stereoscopic displays, which produce a basic 3D effect by means of stereopsis, but can cause eye strain and visual fatigue. Newer 3D displays such as holographic and light field displays produce a more realistic 3D effect by combining stereopsis and accurate focal length for the displayed content. Newer 3D displays in this manner cause less visual fatigue than classical stereoscopic displays.
Rendu scanlinevignette|droite Le rendu Scanline est, en infographie 3D, un algorithme pour la détermination de surface visible qui fonctionne ligne par ligne plutôt que polygone par polygone ou encore pixel par pixel. Le principe consiste à trier les polygones selon leur ordre de profondeur, pour ensuite calculer l'intersection entre la projection du pixel voulu et le premier polygone rencontré de la liste triée. L'intérêt de cette méthode est qu'il n'est pas nécessaire de passer les coordonnées de tous les sommets de la mémoire vive à la mémoire de travail.
Phong reflection modelThe Phong reflection model (also called Phong illumination or Phong lighting) is an empirical model of the local illumination of points on a surface designed by the computer graphics researcher Bui Tuong Phong. In 3D computer graphics, it is sometimes referred to as "Phong shading", particularly if the model is used with the interpolation method of the same name and in the context of pixel shaders or other places where a lighting calculation can be referred to as “shading”.
Text displayA text display is an electronic alphanumeric display device that is mainly or only capable of showing text, or extremely limited graphic characters. This includes electromechanical split-flap displays, vane displays, and flip-disc displays; all-electronic liquid-crystal displays, incandescent eggcrate displays, LED displays, and vacuum fluorescent displays; and even electric nixie tubes. There are several ways to form text for display. A segment display uses lines, while a dot-matrix display uses a grid of dots, and both of these are seen in LCD, LED, VFD, and vane/disc types.
Ombrage de GouraudLombrage de Gouraud (Gouraud shading en anglais) est une technique de rendu 3D inventée par Henri Gouraud. Autrefois limitée au monde de l', l'ombrage de Gouraud est aujourd'hui utilisé par toutes les cartes 3D du marché. Cette technique marque une énorme avancée sur l'ombrage plat autrefois utilisé. Avec l'ombrage plat, les facettes des objets 3D sont toujours très visibles. L'ombrage de Gouraud consiste à interpoler linéairement la luminosité entre les trois sommets d'un triangle.
