Page 25: Glossary
CHAPTER 4: Glossary Alpha Blending When an image has an alpha value for each pixel, this tells how much to blend the colors from the image with the background colors. The lower the alpha values the more transparent the image looks. Anti-aliasing Method used to remove the jagginess of an image. - Page 26 Bilinear Filtering When texture mapping is performed an image can become very “blocky” or “pixelated” when the texture is viewed close up. Bilinear filtering samples four texture pixels, takes the weighted average of these pixels and applies the average of these “texels”. This blended color is used to provide a smoother looking texture.
- Page 27 HYPER Z™ A memory bandwidth saving technology that boosts rendering performance. HYPER Z™ is comprised of Hierarchical Z, Z Compression, Fast Z Clear and Early Z Test. MIP Map Multum In Parvum (Latin) means “many in one.” It is a method of increasing quality of a texture map by storing multiple resolutions of the same image and dynamically switching between them depending on the size and depth of the object being textured.
- Page 28 Specular Highlight The bright, usually small, intense light reflected from a 3-D surface with a high refraction value. Texture Mapping Mapping, or placing, an image onto an object. Images of realistic surfaces are placed on 3D models to create a richer and more complex visual effect. Trilinear Filtering Sampling method used to produce the most realistic looking 3D objects.
