3D Dictionary » Alpha blending Combining two images with different transparency feels so that one image appears visible through the other, An object's transparency is defined as its Alpha value or Alpha level. » Anti-aliasing The removal of artifacts from an image. w» Bi-linear sampling/filtering A combination of four colors in a single 3D image used +to improve that image's resolution. » Clipping Removal of any image displayed outside of a predefined shape.
= Double buffering A way for your computer to work on an image two different ways at once. Before displaying an image, your video card calculates what a finished image will look like and displays that image while it is calculating the next image in a video stream.

Converting a graphics image into an array of pixel colors for the display. # Shading (gouraud/phong} Both shading methods make the surface and color of an object appear smoother. Thong shading takes more CPU time but gives better results. Gourmand shading is faster. » Texture mapping Overlaying a graphics image on a 3D object, so that the photo takes the shape of that object. » Transparent/Translucent An image that can partially be seen through.
» Z-buffer A two dimensional array made up of a grid of points on a sea-level plane, each containing the value of the depth (z) at that point. This way every pixel on the monitor has a "depth value" so that the program knows which polygons are in the foreground and which are in the background.
