Rasterization is the process of converting 3D models into 2D images by breaking them down into a grid of pixels.

DirectX is a graphics API developed by Microsoft and is widely used in game development for Windows operating systems.

Ray Tracing is a rendering technique that simulates the path of light rays to create realistic shadows and reflections.

Tessellation is the process of optimizing the number of polygons in a 3D model to improve performance.

LOD (Level of Detail) is a technique used to reduce the detail of objects based on their distance from the camera to improve performance.

Texture Resolution refers to the number of pixels in a texture map.

Anti-Aliasing is a technique used to smooth out jagged edges in 3D models.

LOD (Level of Detail) is the process of applying different levels of detail to different parts of a 3D model to improve performance.

Anisotropic Filtering is a technique used to reduce the shimmering effect on textures.

Mipmapping is a technique used to improve the quality of textures at different distances from the camera.

Lightmapping is the process of baking lighting information into a texture map.

Normal Mapping is a technique used to create the illusion of depth and detail on surfaces.

Parallax Mapping is a technique used to create the illusion of depth and displacement on surfaces.

Ambient Occlusion is a technique used to create realistic shadows and ambient lighting.

Texturing is the process of adding realistic details to surfaces.
