The volume covers such topics as vertex processing, rasterization, illumination and shaders, parametric curves and surfaces, image texturing,
bump mapping and character animation.
Scratch 3D, developed in 2005, is a
bump mapping process (a process applied to computer graphics to give the texture of a surface), whereby the specular reflections of a contoured surface, such as leather, are 'mapped' on to plastic film using oriented scratches on the planar surface, which cause anisotropic reflection.
Keywords: Normal mapping,
bump mapping, 3D reconstruction.
The exceptionally sharp output is based on internal true color that blends all textures in 32-bits; real environment
bump mapping support; high texturing depths supporting up to 8 textures per pixel, and a texture depth not found on many current hardcore 3D boards.
Other new features include support for multitexturing,
bump mapping, and cube mapping.
Other features include 32-bit internal true colour resolution, support for 8-layer multitexturing, DXTC texture compression and Direct3D compliant environment mapped
bump mapping.
Advanced 3D features include special effects such as multi-layered textures,
bump mapping to simulate rough surfaces and environmental mapping that gives objects reflective properties.
Currently, 3D graphics chips for PCs only go to work after T&L functions have been dealt with by the CPU, adding the texturing and
bump mapping that fill out the geometric environment.
The Diamond Viper V550 also delivers a full hardware triangle set-up engine, full screen anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, 24-bit Z-buffer, 8-bit stencil buffer,
bump mapping, MPEG, TV output and more.
To enable games and other 3D titles to run with unrivaled image quality as well as at leading-edge frame rates, KYRO II supports highly efficient Full Scene Anti-Aliasing, Internal True Color, and Environmental and Dot3
Bump mapping. With an exclusive feature set including support for 8-layer multi-texturing, Z32, and ConstantStencil, KYRO II delivers performance and image quality that sets new standards in PC games.
