RENDERING AN IMAGE OF A 3D SCENE: AN OVERVIEW (LIGHT An entire section of Scratchapixel is devoted to light transport and we will review in this section, some of the most important light transport algorithms, such as unidirectional path tracing, bi-directional path tracing, metropolis light transport, instant radiosity, photon mapping, radiosity caching, etc. INTRODUCTION TO SHADING (PROCEDURAL TEXTURING) Procedural Texturing. Texturing in computer graphics is a very common technique used to add details to the surface of an object. The principle is similar to wallpaper in a way.

RENDERING AN IMAGE OF A 3D SCENE: AN OVERVIEW (AN OVERVIEW An image of a 3D scene can be generated in multiply ways, but of course any way you choose should produce the same image for any given scene. In most cases, the goal of rendering is to create a photo-realistic image (non-photorealistic rendering or NPR is alsopossible).
A MINIMAL RAY-TRACER: RENDERING SIMPLE SHAPES (SPHERE In the following example we will assume that the box is aligned with the axis of our coordinate system. Such a box is called an axis-aligned box and since it will often be a bounding box (or bounding volume) which we also designate by the acronym AABB (axis-aligned bounding box). Boxes which are not oriented along the axis of a cartesian coordinate system, are called OBB (orientedbounding box).
RENDERING AN IMAGE OF A 3D SCENE: AN OVERVIEW (LIGHT Light Transport. In a typical scene, light is likely to bounce off of the surface of many objects before it reaches the eye. As explained in the previous chapter, the direction in which light is reflected depends on the material type (is it diffuse, specular, etc.), thus light paths are determined by all the successive materials light rays interact with on their way to the eye. 3D VIEWING: THE PINHOLE CAMERA MODEL (IMPLEMENTING A This type of camera is the simplest to simulate in CG and is the model most commonly used by video games and 3D applications.

THE PERSPECTIVE AND ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION MATRIX All we need to do to get a basic perspective projection matrix working, is to account for the angle of view or field-of-view ( FOV) of the camera. We know that by changing the focal length of a zoom lens on a real camera, we can change how much we see of a scene (the extent of the scene).

INTRODUCTION TO RAY TRACING: A SIMPLE METHOD FOR CREATING Simply because this algorithm is the most straightforward way of simulating the physical phenomena that cause objects to be visible. For that reason, we believe ray-tracing is the best choice, among other techniques, when writing a program that creates simple images. To start, we will lay the foundation with the ray-tracing algorithm. THE PERSPECTIVE AND ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION MATRIX (WHAT Lesson summary: The first thing you need to learn before being able to render an image, is the concept of perspective projection matrix. It is used to project points onto the image plane. Perspective projection matrix is not actually used in ray tracing, but is needed in real time time API such as OpenGL.

A word of warning again.The matrix we will present in this chapter is different from the projection matrix that is being used in APIs such as OpenGL or Direct3D. INTRODUCTION TO RAY TRACING: A SIMPLE METHOD FOR CREATING If we repeat this operation for remaining edges of the cube, we will end up with a two-dimensional representation of the cube on the canvas.
