The process of obtaining a finished image from "blanks and all sorts of parameters" is called this. Became, Wikipedia provides such a designation: rendering eng. Rendering - "Visualization" - a term in a computer graph, denoting the process of acquiring an image according to the model using a computer utility.
A rather good designation will continue with him. Rendering is visualization. In computer graphics and 3D artists and programmers under renderingware formation formation of flat drawings - digital bitmap image from 3D scene.
In other words, an informal result on our question "What is rendering?" - This is obtaining 2D pictures on the screen either in the file not fundamentally. A computer program that produces rendering is referred to as Rander English. Render or renderer eng. RENDERER.
Render (rendering) is a workpiece for the future model and is not important in 2D or 3D.
Render - In his turn, the word "Render" is called most often the result of rendering. But from time to time and the process is referred to the same (simply in the British verb - Render moved to Russian, it is shorter and more comfortable). You probably met different drawings on the network, with the signature "Guess Render or a photo?". There is a reason for 3D visualization or a real photo (so graphic design has advanced, which is sometimes not discerning). This is when from the 3-dimensional model of the computer being processed, you must display the 2x dimensional image on the monitor. Here is the conversion of a 3D model in a 2D image and is called rendering. Draw a cube. We use a cherry shader to him. Improve lighting, refraction, reflection. We put some background. Preparation is ready. A pile of parameters. Rendering is to get an awesome realistic transparent cube from the workpiece. Here is such a stupid example. But effective.
