3D Rendering, the Grand Illusion Explained
summary
Covers how 3D rendering turns vertex/triangle lists into pixels using matrix transforms (object→world, world→camera/projection), normalization for resolution, and rasterization that interpolates attributes. Shows a 4,823‑vertex model exported from tools like Maya/Blender into GPU shaders (C‑like vertex and fragment programs), and explains textures/normal maps, ambient+diffuse+specular lighting, and post‑processing (anti‑aliasing).
