On the FAQ Thread, Tom, =Piner has asked we compile a list of terms pertaining to Photography, CGI, & so forth. When this list of terms & their meanings are compiled, they will then be put in a glossary & added to the FAQ for the benefit of all. This will be especially helpful for the newcomers to our ever growing site, who might not understand some of the terms being so casually tossed around. You can read the FAQ Thread HERE.


I'll start us off .....

Abstract Terms


Gradient --------- The colors used to make an abstract image

Palette --------- The colors used to make an abstract image

Render -------- When making fractals, CG Images, or other abstracts this is the actual process of the computer creating what the artist has designed. As a compliment, you will oftern see the term " Great render", meaning Great design, Great image.


*note* Feel free to correct & refine any terms or language, especially my own, *grin* as we want this to be right.

Thanks all !
