What actually does rendering mean? For example; On a 3D program what does it mean by rendering something. I know this sounds stupid but I want to know what it means [img]graemlins/awcrap.gif[/img]

Hey and don't flame me for not knowing [img]tongue.gif[/img]

In 3d programs it means you have to wait and wait and wait and wait...
No seriously it means that the computer is drawing up what you created and calculating stuff like lights, shadows, textures and maps and that sort of thing.
Well thats the simple explanation... [img]smile.gif[/img]
