Graphics pipeline
In 3D graphics rendering, the stages needed to remodel a three-dimensional image into a two-
dimensional screen. The stages square measure chargeable for process info at the start
provided even as properties at the tip points (vertices) or management points of the geometric
primitives wont to describe what's to be rendered. The standard primitives in 3D graphics
square measure lines and triangles. The sort of properties provided per vertex embodies x-y-z
coordinates, RGB values, clearness, texture, reflectivity, and alternative characteristics.
