Which of the following is a stage in 3D viewing pipeline?
Multiple Choice Options
- A
Lightning
- B
Modeling
- C✓ Correct Option
Rendering
- D
Animation
Detailed Technical Solution & Explanation
The 3D viewing pipeline (graphics rendering pipeline) consists of stages that transform 3D scene data into 2D images on screen. Rendering is a core stage in this pipeline — it is the process of generating the final 2D image from the 3D scene description, including rasterization, shading, texturing, and fragment processing.
The standard stages include: Vertex Processing → Clipping → Projection → Rasterization → Fragment/Pixel Processing (Rendering).
Option Analysis:
•
Option A (Lightning): Likely a misspelling of "Lighting" — while lighting calculations occur during the pipeline, the standard stage name is shading/illumination, not a named pipeline stage.
•
Option B (Modeling): Modeling is the process of creating 3D objects — it's a pre-pipeline activity, not a pipeline stage.
•
Option C (Rendering): ✅ Correct. Rendering is a fundamental stage in the 3D viewing pipeline.
•
Option D (Animation): Animation is about creating motion sequences — it drives the pipeline but is not a stage within it.
