Image for procedural rendering

procedural rendering

Procedural rendering is a technique in computer graphics where images or models are created algorithmically, rather than by manually designing every detail. It uses mathematical formulas, rules, or algorithms to generate complex textures, terrains, or objects in real-time or during production. This approach allows for highly detailed, varied, and scalable visuals with less storage, as the details are computed on the fly. It is commonly used in video games, simulations, and visual effects to create realistic or fantastical environments efficiently and dynamically.
