| | Global illumination - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Images rendered using global illumination algorithms are more photorealistic than images rendered using local illumination algorithms. | | | A common approach is to compute the global illumination of a scene and store that information with the geometry (ie. | | | The algorithms used to calculate the distribution of light energy between surfaces of a scene are closely related to heat transfer simulations performed using finite-element methods in engineering design. |

| | Global Illumination and All That |
| | While it is true that global illumination computation is slower than a pure scanline rendering, the algorithms continue getting more efficient and the computers continue getting faster. | | | Another objection has been that global illumination algorithms have not been able to handle the insanely complex scenes that are routinely rendered in the industry. | | | It is also true that, traditionally, the very incoherent geometry and texture accesses required to compute global illumination have placed severe limits on the scene sizes. |

| | Globalization @ Globalists.com |
| | In general, critics claim that the results of globalization have not been what was predicted when the attempt to increase free trade began, and that many institutions involved in the system of globalization have not taken the interests of poorer nations, the working class and the environment into account. | | | In the field of software, globalization is a technical term that combines the development processes of internationalization and localization. | | | The other aspect of globalization is the revolutionary changes in technology, particularly in transport and communications, which ostensibly creates a global village. |
