#The powerful points on 3DRendering: In the real world, light sources emit photons that normally travel in straight lines until they interact with a surface or a volume. When a photon encounters a surface, it may be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted.  Some of these photons may hit the retina of an observer where they are converted into a signal that is then processed by the brain, thus forming an image. Similarly, photons may be caught by the sensor of a camera. Also Read : Top Selected books on 3D Rendering In either case, the image is a 2D representation of the environment. The formation of an image as a result of photons interacting with a 3D environment may be simulated on the computer. The environment is then replaced by a 3D geometric model and the interaction of light with this model is simulated with one of a large number of available algorithms. The process of image synthesis by simulating light behavior is called rendering. The below are the best resources ...
