Rendering

Rendering is the process of creating an image or animation from a three-dimensional model (3D model) using computer software. This process is achieved by applying various techniques and algorithms that process data about the position of objects, light, materials and other characteristics in order to obtain the final image or animation.

Product description

During the rendering process, the software processes data about the position of light sources, materials, shadows and other characteristics of objects in the scene, in order to obtain a photorealistic or stylized image or animation. There are various rendering techniques that can be used, such as ray tracing, radiosity, and global illumination, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

When dealing with animations, the rendering process is often very demanding and time-consuming, as a large number of images must be generated (often 24 or more frames per second) to create the impression of motion. That's why the animation industry often uses render farms, that is, large sets of computers that simultaneously process a large number of images in order to speed up the process.

Rendering is used in many industries, such as animation, film, video games, architecture and design, to create photorealistic or stylized images or animations that help visualize the final product or idea.
