Usage of renderingWhen the pre-image (a wireframe sketch usually) is complete, rendering is used, which adds in bitmap textures or procedural textures, lights, bump mapping, and relative position to other objects. The result is a completed image the consumer or intended viewer sees. For movie animations, several images (frames) must be rendered, and stitched together in a program capable of making an animation of this sort. Most 3D image editing programs can do this.2. Raster graphicsIn computer graphics, a raster graphics image or bitmap is a data structure representing a generally rectangular grid of pixels, or points of color, viewable via a monitor, paper, or other display medium. Raster images are stored in image files with varying formats.3. PixelAs the short form for Picture Element, a pixel is a single point in a graphic image. In digital imaging, a pixel is the smallest item of information in an image. Pixels are normally arranged in a 2-dimensional grid, and are often represented using dots, squares or rectangles. Each pixel is a sample of an original image, where more samples typically provide more accurate representations of the original. The intensity of each pixel is variable; in color systems, each pixel has typically three or fourcomponents such as red, green and blue, or cyan, magenta, yellow and black.Reading ATask 1Imagine you are a car designer. Which of the following pictures would you show to your client to sell your design? What method can you use to create the picture on the right?Rendering Rendering is the process of generating an image from a model by means of computer programs. In this case, the model is a description of three-dimensional objects in a strictly defined language or data structure. It contains geometry, viewpoint, texture, lighting, and shading information. The image is a digital image or raster graphics image. Because the image is analogous to an “artists rendering” of a scene, the term “rendering” is also used to describe the process of calculating effects in a video editing file to produce final video output.Reading A Rendering is one of the major sub-topics of 3D computer graphics, and in practice is always connected to the others. In the graphics pipeline, it is the last major step, giving the final appearance to the models and animation. With the increasing sophistication of computer graphics from the 1970s onward, it has become a more distinct subject. Today, many image-based modeling and rendering techniques are used to provide photo-realistic images in architecture, video games, simulators, movie and TV special effects, and in design visualization.Reading A A wide variety of renderers are available now. The renderer is a computer program using one or a range of the different rendering features and techniques currently available. Some renderers are integrated into larger modeling and animation packages, some are stand-alone, and some are free open-source projects. Each uses a selective mixture of discipline related to light physics, visual perception, mathematics, and software development.Reading A In the case of 3D graphics, rendering may be done slowly, as in pre-rendering or in real time. Pre-rendering is a computationally intensive process that is typically used for movie creation, while real-time rendering is often done for 3D video games which rely on the use of graphics cards with 3D hardware accelerators. Rendering sometimes takes a long time, even on very fast computers. This is because the software is essentially “photographing” each pixel of the image, and the calculation of the color of just one pixel can involve a great deal of calculation, tracing rays of light as they would bounce around the 3D scene.

Black is popular, but it can be rather dull and can give a serious tone to sitting rooms. Perhaps, it is more appropriate for the office.Morgan: What specific color would you suggest?Sara: Our customers usually choose warm, comfortable colors for the home. So we suggest you change the fabric color to shades of yellow, orange, red or brown.Morgan: OK, no problem. What else are you not soListeningTask 5 Morgan and Sara meet again for final design.

The containers, which also are fitted with a lighting system, can be connected with a hinge and closed like a trunk for easy transport and dispatch. On opening, hinged screens create separate and private zones in the container. The “Study Container” is a section that serves as a writing surface with “secretaire” fittings. This is hinged to a bookcase element with a chest of drawers. Reading BThe “Personal Container” holds a record player, record rack, radio, small bookcase, magazine rack, complete bar, ashtray, and various drawers. In the “For Woman” and “For Man” containers, the arrangement of spaces for clothes and drawers takes account of specific male and female fashion requirements. For example, in the “For Woman” container, the dressing table is set lower down, for a seated person.Reading BIn the “For Man” container, the dressing table is set higher up (in the lid). Both versions have adjustable lighting units, sockets for electric razors and cosmetic appliances, mirrors of adjustable height, as well as space for personal possessions.
