SketchUp is primarily used for architectural modeling, while Maya, 3ds Max, and Blender are widely used in game development.

Texturing involves applying textures, which are 2D images, to the surfaces of 3D models to give them visual detail.

Ambient Occlusion is a technique that simulates the natural darkening of areas where objects block light from reaching.

Animation encompasses all techniques used to create movement and behavior for characters and objects in a game.

Unreal Engine is renowned for its advanced graphics capabilities and is frequently used in the development of high-quality AAA games.

Pre-Rendered Graphics involve creating 3D scenes or animations in advance and then using them as static images or videos in the game.

STL is primarily used for 3D printing, while FBX, OBJ, and DAE are commonly used for storing and exchanging 3D models in game development.

World Building encompasses the creation of the virtual world or environment in which the game takes place.

Parallax Mapping is a more advanced technique used in modern games to create the illusion of depth and surface detail.

Material Creation involves defining the properties of materials, such as their color, roughness, and reflectivity, to create realistic surfaces.

Procedural Animation is a more advanced technique used to create complex animations based on rules or algorithms.

Performance Optimization encompasses all techniques used to improve the performance of game graphics while maintaining visual quality.

JPG is commonly used for general-purpose image compression, while PNG, TGA, and DDS are frequently used for storing textures in game development.

Procedural Generation involves using algorithms and mathematical formulas to create 3D models or environments dynamically.

Metal is a graphics API specifically designed for Apple devices, while DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan are commonly used across various platforms.
