|
|
|
ray tracing
|
a sophisticated and complex method of producing high-quality computer graphics
|

|
bitmapped graphics
|
Computer graphics represented as arrays of bits in memory that represents the attributes of the individual pixels in an image (one bit per pixel in a black-and-white display, multiple bits per pixel in a color or gray-scale display)
|
|
|
bit depth
|
the number of bits per pixel allocated for storing indexed color information in a graphics file
|
|
|
MIP mapping
|
short for multum in parvo(Latin for "much in little") mapping. A form of mapping in which the appearance of a bitmapped image is pre-calculated from a distance and used in a texture mapper. This allows for smoother texture-mapped images calculated in the distance, since pixel conversion may alter colors relative to human perception

|
rendering
|
the creation of an image containing geometric models, using color and shading to give the image a realistic look
