A wide variety of renderers are available for use.
DOES BRIGHTER 3D WORK WITH SECTION CUTS MOVIE
Rendering has uses in architecture, video games, simulators, movie and TV visual effects, and design visualization, each employing a different balance of features and techniques. With the increasing sophistication of computer graphics since the 1970s, it has become a more distinct subject. It is the last major step in the graphics pipeline, giving models and animation their final appearance.
Rendering is one of the major sub-topics of 3D computer graphics, and in practice it is always connected to the others. The term "rendering" is also used to describe the process of calculating effects in a video editing program to produce the final video output. The term "rendering" is analogous to the concept of an artist's impression of a scene. The data contained in the scene file is then passed to a rendering program to be processed and output to a digital image or raster graphics image file. The scene file contains geometry, viewpoint, texture, lighting, and shading information describing the virtual scene. Multiple models can be defined in a scene file containing objects in a strictly defined language or data structure. The resulting image is referred to as the render. Rendering or image synthesis is the process of generating a photorealistic or non-photorealistic image from a 2D or 3D model by means of a computer program.
