renderers
Those who depict
Renderers are systems or programs that produce finished output from raw data.
In computing, a renderer transforms code into visual display—a browser renders HTML, a graphics engine renders 3D scenes.
In other contexts, a renderer processes material: facilities that render animal carcasses into useful byproducts.
The game's renderers struggled with complex lighting effects.
