rendered

Rendered is the past participle of render and is used to describe something that has been produced, delivered, or extracted. It appears in various domains including computing, cooking, law, and architecture.

In computing and digital media, rendering is the process of generating an image from a scene description. The rendered image is produced by a renderer which simulates light, materials, and camera effects. Real-time rendering aims for interactive frame rates, while offline or cinematic rendering prioritizes image fidelity, often using physically based rendering models and advanced sampling. Common techniques include rasterization, ray tracing, and path tracing.

In web browsers, rendering refers to the process of turning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript into pixels on screen. Rendering engines parse markup, construct the DOM, lay out boxes, paint pixels, and composite layers. Performance depends on resource loading, JavaScript execution, and CSS complexity, as well as how efficiently the layout and painting steps are managed.

In cooking, rendered fat is fat that has been melted and separated from connective tissue, producing clarified fat (such as lard or tallow) and often crispy solids. Rendered fats are used for cooking, flavor enhancement, and as stock components.

In law and general usage, render means to present or deliver something, such as rendering a verdict or judgment; the court rendered a decision. In medical or data contexts, to render an analysis means to provide or produce it.
