A 3D object created by connecting points (vertices) with lines (edges), forming triangular faces.

A 3D shape composed of three points (vertices) connected by lines (edges), forming a single flat surface.

The process of converting 3D data into a 2D image that can be displayed on a screen.

A mathematical technique used in rendering to project 3D objects onto a 2D screen, simulating how we see in real life, with vanishing points.

A mathematical technique used in rendering to project 3D objects onto a 2D screen, without simulating depth or perspective.

A vector perpendicular to a surface, indicating its direction and orientation.

The ability to control the position, orientation, and size of a 3D object in virtual space.

Used to describe the boundary of what the camera renders, excluding objects too close or too far.

A system used to define the position of points in 3D space using three coordinates: X (width), Y (height), and Z (depth).

A system used to define the position of points on a flat surface using two coordinates: longitude (X) and latitude (Y).

The branch of mathematics that studies the properties of geometric figures using algebraic methods.

A system for representing 3D objects using a collection of points (vertices) connected by lines (edges) and surfaces (faces).

The direction that is considered "up" in a 3D space, which can differ based on the software used.

The process of translating 3D information into a form that can be displayed on a computer screen.

A system for representing 3D objects that consists of a series of points (vertices) connected by lines (edges) and surfaces (faces), which are stored as numerical data.

The process of using mathematical formulas and algorithms to calculate and manipulate 3D objects and environments.

A method for calculating how bright a triangle should appear based on its angle relative to a light source. The smaller the angle between the normal vector and the light direction, the brighter the triangle appears.

A technique for smoothing out the appearance of 3D models by interpolating normals between vertices. It creates a more gradual transition between individual polygons, reducing the jagged, pixelated look.

One of the first methods for shading 3D models by calculating the average normal of its neighboring faces. It creates a smoother appearance than flat shading, but can still exhibit noticeable sharp edges.

A technique that interpolates the normals themselves, rather than just averaging them, resulting in a smoother and more realistic appearance compared to Gouraud shading.

The effect of sharp edges or visible polygons in a 3D model, often caused by low polygon count or flat shading techniques.

The number of polygons used to create a 3D model. A higher polycount generally results in a smoother and more detailed model.

A technique that involves calculating the average normal of the neighboring faces and interpolating this information to create smooth gradients. It is a fundamental technique in 3D graphics, offering a significant visual improvement in rendering.
