DescriptionRender Types.png
English: A computer generated 3D scene, rendered flat to 2D with different rendering algorithms. From a very simple picture consisting only of black outlines to a sophisticated image with shadows and reflections. The top image took about 1 second to render on a standard 2005 PC. The bottom image took about 3 minutes to render at that time.
Deutsch: Eine computergenerierte 3D-Szene, die auf verschiedene Weise flach gerechnet ("gerendert") wurde: oben eine sehr einfache Version, die nur aus schwarzen Umrandungslinien besteht, darunter eine homogen mit Farben gefüllte Variante, ganz unten mit komplexen Reflexionen und Schatten. Das obere Bild benötigte für einen Standard-PC von 2005 etwa 1 Sekunde Rechenzeit, während das untere erst nach etwa 3 Minuten "fertig" gerendert war.

Desde una imagen muy simple que consta solamente de contornos negros, se pueden generar una serie de sofisticadas imágenes con sombras y reflejos. La imagen superior tardó aproximadamente 1 segundo en procesarse en una PC estándar del año 2005. La imagen inferior tardó unos 3 minutos en renderizarse en esa misma fecha.
