The lighting and shadowing of every surface is dynamic: constantly changing with environmental conditions and the player's actions. There's a wealth of technology used to render this frame, boasting cool phrases such as screen space ambient occlusion, pre-pass depth mapping, Bokeh blur filters, tone mapping operators, and so on. Fast forward 23 years, and it's a very different story in the acclaimed reboot.

This wasn't because the programmers weren't up to the task: PC hardware of that era consisted of 66 MHz (that's 0.066 GHz!) CPUs, 40 MB hard drives, and 512 kB graphics cards that had minimal 3D capabilities. Any sense of shadows just comes from some clever use of textures and the designer's choice of ambient color. The use of light and shadow in this title is very primitive by modern standards: no sources of light are accounted for, as each surface is given an overall, or ambient, color value using the vertices. For many years, this was the bulk of the rendering process, and we can see this by going back to 1993 and firing up id Software's Doom.

So far in the series we've covered the key aspects of how shapes in a scene are moved and manipulated, transformed from a 3-dimensional space into a flat grid of pixels, and how textures are applied to those shapes.
