A technique in computer graphics to simulate fuzzy phenomena, which are otherwise very hard to reproduce with conventional rendering techniques - examples are fire, smoke, or sparks.

A shading and rendering technique used to calculate how exposed each point in a scene is to ambient lighting. The more occluded or surrounded by other objects a point is, the darker it is rendered.

A technique in computer graphics used to calculate the motion of a kinematic chain (a jointed structure like a skeleton) to reach a desired end point.

The process of combining an image with a background to create the appearance of partial or full transparency.

A mechanism of light transport in which light penetrates the surface of a translucent object, is scattered by interacting with the material, and exits the surface at a different point.

An area of computer graphics that focuses on enabling a wide variety of expressive styles for digital art.

A technique in computer graphics for adding geometric detail to a polygon surface by modifying each vertex's position through a displacement map.

A rendering technique for generating an image by tracing the path of light as pixels in an image plane and simulating the effects of its encounters with virtual objects.

A technique in computer graphics for simulating bumps and wrinkles on the surface of an object without having to model these details.

A set of software instructions that define the way graphics hardware renders light, shadow, texture, and color during the rendering process.

A collection of vertices, edges, and faces that define the shape of a polyhedral object in 3D computer graphics and solid modeling.

The process of generating a photorealistic or non-photorealistic image from a 2D or 3D model by means of computer programs.

A method for defining high frequency detail, surface texture, or color information on a 3D model.

The process of creating the bone structure of a 3D model to allow the animator to move and pose it in a realistic manner.
