Ray Tracing

Ray tracing works on the principle that a light source sends out straight rays which continue on its path until it collides with an object. If the object is reflective like metal or transparent like glass, refraction is caused and the new path of the ray is dependent on the objects properties. The ray continues [...]

Radiosity

Surfaces are illuminated by light whether by direct light from a light source or by reflected light from one or more surfaces in the environment. Smoke , fog or dust may inhibit the light. Different surfaces have a different reflectivity as some light is absorbed by the surface and some may pass through the surface. [...]

Cartesian Co-ordinate System

Cartesian Co-ordinate System 
3D software packages use the Cartesian Co-ordinate System to create the illusion of working in three-dimensional space

This system was created by French Mathematician Rene Descartes in 1637 to try to merge algebra and Euclidean Geometry.  It has had an important role in analytical geometry, calculus and cartography.
The two axes that commonly define the [...]
