In Section 16.2.5 we described only the most basic aspects of the rendering process. It is a far more complex topic than the elementary material presented in that one section. However, it is also the most critical and most difficult step in the overall imaging process. A wireframe model is not a finished image that could be displayed on a screen. It is the set of rendering algorithms that takes this primitive model and turns it into something both realistic and believable in its appearance.
Find sources of technical information on rendering and read about the steps involved in this visualization process. Specifically, read about some of these aspects of rendering that were not presented in this chapter:
• Bump-mapping. Creating small-scale bumps on the surface of an object
• Fogging. The dimming and dispersal of light as it passes through a partially obscure atmosphere
• Refraction. The bending of light associated with transparency
• Indirect illumination. Surfaces that are illuminated by light reflecting off other objects
• Translucency. The scattering of light as it passes through solid objects
• Depth of field. Objects that appear out of focus because they are too close or too far from the object that is in focus
For one or more of these rendering topics, write up a report that describes the algorithms used to address these issues.
