  2. Draw distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draw_distance

    Draw distance requires definition because a processor having to render objects out to an infinite distance would slow down the application to an unacceptable speed. [1] As the draw distance increases, more distant polygons need to be drawn onto the screen that would regularly be clipped .

  3. Z-fighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-fighting

    As the distance between near and far clip planes increases, and in particular the near plane is selected near the eye, the greater the likelihood exists that z-fighting between primitives will occur. With large virtual environments inevitably there is an inherent conflict between the need to resolve visibility in the distance and in the ...

  4. Level of detail (computer graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_of_detail_(computer...

    With the advent of 3D games in the 1990s, a lot of video games simply did not render distant structures or objects. Only nearby objects would be rendered and more distant parts would gradually fade, essentially implementing distance fog. Video games using LOD rendering avoid this fog effect and can render larger areas.

  6. Z-buffering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-buffering

    In rendering, z-culling is early pixel elimination based on depth, a method that provides an increase in performance when rendering of hidden surfaces is costly. It is a direct consequence of z-buffering, where the depth of each pixel candidate is compared to the depth of the existing geometry behind which it might be hidden.

  9. List of rendering APIs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rendering_APIs

    Rendering APIs typically provide just enough functionality to abstract a graphics accelerator, focussing on rendering primitives, state management, command lists/command buffers; and as such differ from fully fledged 3D graphics libraries, 3D engines (which handle scene graphs, lights, animation, materials etc.), and GUI frameworks; Some provide fallback software rasterisers, which were ...
