Graphics pipeline

The computer graphics pipeline, or simply graphics pipeline, also known as the rendering pipeline, is a series of procedures for transforming a three-dimensional (3D) scene into a two-dimensional (2D) representation on a screen. Once a 3D model is generated, the 3D computer graphics pipeline converts the model into a visually perceivable format on the…
