4.1 Rendering Information of PRCG
Out of the 800 PRCG, 280 of them does not have any associated rendering
information, the remaining 520 images has rendering information of various
extent; some images contain a more complete rendering description while
some contain a very mininal information of only the rendering software used.
The rendering information includes the rendering software, the geometric
modeling techniques, the rendering techniques, and the post-rendering pro-
cessing. The information is extracted from the description of the PRCG
found at the original webpage.
Table 2 lists the rendering software or tools used in the PRCG set. Most
of them are the commercial computer graphics rendering software. Table 3
lists the geometric modeling software or tools used in the PRCG set and
Table 4 lists the software used for the post-rendering image composition or
for the creation of image texture. Finally, Table 5 lists the geometric mod-
eling and the rendering techniques, where many of them are for producing
high-photorealistic rendering effects.
