Whois & Analysis for rw-designer.com

In computing, an icon is a pictogram or ideogram displayed on a computer screen in order to help the user navigate a computer system or mobile device.

The icon itself is a quickly comprehensible symbol of a software tool, function, or a data file, accessible on the system and is more like a traffic sign than a detailed illustration of the actual entity it represents.

It can serve as an electronic hyperlink or file shortcut to access the program or data.

The user can activate an icon using a mouse, pointer, finger, or recently voice commands.

Their placement on the screen, also in relation to other icons, may provide further information to the user about their usage.

In activating an icon, the user can move directly into and out of the identified function without knowing anything further about the location or requirements of the file or code.

Three-dimensional computer graphics (3D computer graphics, in contrast to 2D computer graphics) are graphics that use a three-dimensional representation of geometric data (often Cartesian) that is stored in the computer for the purposes of performing calculations and rendering 2D images.

Such images may be stored for viewing later or displayed in real-time.

Image editing encompasses the processes of altering images, whether they are digital photographes, traditional photochemical photographs, or illustrations.

Traditional analog image editing is known as photo retouching, using tools such as an airbrush to modify photographs, or editing illustrations with any traditional art medium.

Graphic software programs, which can be broadly grouped into vector graphics editors, raster graphics editors, and 3D modelers, are the primary tools with which a user may manipulate, enhance, and transform images.

Many image editing programs are also used to render or create computer art from scratch.

In computer graphics, graphics software refers to a program or collection of programs that enable a person to manipulate images or models visually on a computer.

Rendering or image synthesis is the process of generating an image from a 2D or 3D model (or models in what collectively could be called a scene file) by means of computer programs.

Also, the results of such a model can be called a rendering.

A scene file contains objects in a strictly defined language or data structure; it would contain geometry, viewpoint, texture, lighting, and shading information as a description of the virtual 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 term "rendering" may be by analogy with an "artist's rendering" of a scene.

Though the technical details of rendering methods vary, the general challenges to overcome in producing a 2D image from a 3D representation stored in a scene file are outlined as the graphics pipeline along a rendering device, such as a GPU.

A GPU is a purpose-built device able to assist a CPU in performing complex rendering calculations.

If a scene is to look relatively realistic and predictable under virtual lighting, the rendering software should solve the rendering equation.

The rendering equation doesn't account for all lighting phenomena, but is a general lighting model for computer-generated imagery.

'Rendering' is also used to describe the process of calculating effects in a video editing program to produce final video output.
