WHAT

IS RENDERING ?
- Rendering is the process of
generating an image from a
3D scene
- Types of rendering: Real-
time rendering, offline
rendering
Real-time rendering generates
images instantly, making it suitable
for interactive applications like video
games and virtual reality.
Offline rendering processes
images over time, prioritizing
quality over speed. It's used for
high-quality visuals in films and
advertisements.
RENDERING
PIPLINE
* Vertex Specification: Defining the 3D
model's geometry.
* Vertex Shader: Processing individual
vertices to calculate their final position
and color.
* Tessellation: Subdividing surfaces for
more detailed rendering.
* Geometry Shader: Manipulating entire
primitives (e.g., triangles).
* Vertex Post-Processing: Clipping,
culling, and transforming vertices.
* Primitive Assembly: Combining
vertices into geometric primitives.
* Rasterization: Converting primitives
into pixels on the screen.
* Fragment Shader: Calculating the final
color of each pixel.
* Per-Sample Operations: Applying effects like depth testing and blending.

HYBRID RENDERING:

Many modern rendering techniques


combine the strengths of both
rasterization and ray tracing.
Hybrid rendering allows for real-
time performance while
maintaining high-quality visuals.

Examples:
- Rasterization with ray-traced

The choice between


rasterization and ray tracing
depends on the specific
requirements of your
application. For real-time
applications like video games,
rasterization is often the
preferred choice. However,
for high-quality offline
rendering or demanding real-
time applications, ray tracing
can provide superior results.
