5. Shadow mapping - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_mapping

   Shadow mapping or shadowing projection is a process by which shadows are added to 3D computer graphics. This concept was introduced by Lance Williams in 1978, in a paper entitled "Casting curved shadows on curved surfaces." [1] Since then, it has been used both in pre-rendered and realtime scenes in many console and PC games.

8. Physically based rendering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physically_based_rendering

   Physically based rendering ( PBR) is a computer graphics approach that seeks to render images in a way that models the lights and surfaces with optics in the real world. It is often referred to as "Physically Based Lighting" or "Physically Based Shading". Many PBR pipelines aim to achieve photorealism. Feasible and quick approximations of the ...

9. OpenGL - Wikipedia
