  2. Ray tracing (graphics) - Wikipedia

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

    In 3D computer graphics, ray tracing is a technique for modeling light transport for use in a wide variety of rendering algorithms for generating digital images . On a spectrum of computational cost and visual fidelity, ray tracing-based rendering techniques, such as ray casting, recursive ray tracing, distribution ray tracing, photon mapping ...

  3. List of ray tracing software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ray_tracing_software

    List of ray tracing software. Ray tracing is a technique that can generate near photo-realistic computer images. A wide range of free software and commercial software is available for producing these images. This article lists notable ray-tracing software. Software.

  4. Physically based rendering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physically_based_rendering

    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 "Physically Based Shading". Many PBR pipelines aim to achieve photorealism. Feasible and quick approximations of the ...

  5. POV-Ray - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POV-Ray

    AGPL-3.0-or-later [5] Website. www.povray.org. The Persistence of Vision Ray Tracer, most commonly acronymed as POV-Ray, is a cross-platform ray-tracing program that generates images from a text-based scene description. It was originally based on DKBTrace, written by David Kirk Buck and Aaron A. Collins for Amiga computers.

  6. Radiance (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiance_(software)

    More efficient than using obj2rad and includes texture coordinates. Rendering. rpict is the renderer, producing a Radiance image on its standard output. rvu is an interactive renderer, opening an X11 window to show the render in progress, and allowing the view to be altered. rtrace is a tool for tracing specific rays into a scene. It reads the ...

  7. Ray casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_casting

    Ray-cast image of idealized universal joint with shadow. Ray casting is the methodological basis for 3D CAD/CAM solid modeling and image rendering. It is essentially the same as ray tracing for computer graphics where virtual light rays are "cast" or "traced" on their path from the focal point of a camera through each pixel in the camera sensor to determine what is visible along the ray in the ...

  8. Spectral rendering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_rendering

    Spectral rendering. In computer graphics, spectral rendering is a technique in which a scene's light transport is modeled with real wavelengths. This process is typically slower than traditional rendering, which renders the scene in its red, green, and blue components and then overlays the images. Spectral rendering is often used in ray tracing ...

  9. Radiosity (computer graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiosity_(computer_graphics)

    The Cornell box, rendered with and without radiosity by BMRT. In 3D computer graphics, radiosity is an application of the finite element method to solving the rendering equation for scenes with surfaces that reflect light diffusely. Unlike rendering methods that use Monte Carlo algorithms (such as path tracing ), which handle all types of light ...
