Key Concepts

• Geometry: The initial representation of the object.
• Transformations: Modifying the geometry (translation, rotation, scaling).
• Lighting: Simulating how light interacts with surfaces.
• Shadows: Creating depth and form.
• Material Properties: Determining surface appearance (color, reflectivity, etc.).

Rendering Pipeline

The rendering process typically follows these steps:

• Vertex Processing: Transforming vertices into a point cloud.
• Rasterization: Converting the point cloud into pixels.
• Fragment Processing: Determining the color and depth of each pixel.
• Texturing: Applying textures to surfaces.
• Post-Processing: Effects like bloom, ambient occlusion, and depth of field.
