Multiple choice

Which rendering technique is commonly used in modern games to achieve realistic and detailed graphics?

  1. Ray Tracing

  2. Rasterization

  3. Voxel-Based Rendering

  4. Sprite-Based Rendering
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Ray tracing is a rendering technique that simulates the physical behavior of light to generate realistic and detailed images. It traces the path of light rays from the camera through the scene, calculating interactions with objects and surfaces to determine the final color of each pixel.

Multiple choice

Which shading technique is commonly used to create smooth and realistic surfaces in game graphics?

  1. Phong Shading

  2. Gouraud Shading

  3. Blinn-Phong Shading

  4. Cook-Torrance Shading
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Phong Shading is a shading technique that interpolates the normal vectors of a surface at each pixel to calculate the intensity of light at that point. It produces smooth and realistic surfaces by taking into account the direction of the light source and the viewer's perspective.

Multiple choice

Which algorithm is commonly used to generate shadows in real-time rendering?

  1. Ray Tracing

  2. Shadow Mapping

  3. Volume Shadow Mapping

  4. Stencil Shadow Mapping
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Shadow Mapping is a technique used to generate shadows in real-time rendering. It involves rendering the scene from the perspective of the light source and storing the depth information in a texture. This texture is then used to determine which parts of the scene are in shadow.

Multiple choice

Which technique is commonly used to reduce the number of draw calls in game graphics?

  1. Batching

  2. Instancing

  3. Occlusion Culling

  4. Level of Detail (LOD)
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Batching is a technique used to reduce the number of draw calls in game graphics. It involves combining multiple draw calls into a single draw call, which improves performance by reducing the overhead associated with each draw call.
