Nail buffing is the act of polishing the nail using buffers of successively finer grit in order to make nails look more consistent and shiny. [1] A paste is used to fill ridges on nail surfaces. [2] Buffing is also done prior to the application of nail products or artificial nails to help the product adhere to the nail.
The Z-buffer and stencil buffer often share the same area in the RAM of the graphics hardware. In the simplest case, the stencil buffer is used to limit the area of rendering (stenciling). More advanced usage of the stencil buffer makes use of the strong connection between the Z-buffer and the stencil buffer in the rendering pipeline. For ...
Set the stencil operation to increment on depth fail (only count shadows behind the object). Render the shadow volumes. Use back-face culling. Set the stencil operation to decrement on depth fail. Render the shadow volumes. The depth fail method has the same considerations regarding the stencil buffer's precision as the depth pass method.
Z-fighting which cannot be entirely eliminated in this manner is often resolved by the use of a stencil buffer, or by applying a post-transformation screen space z-buffer offset to one polygon which does not affect the projected shape on screen but does affect the z-buffer value to eliminate the overlap during pixel interpolation and comparison ...
A variation on z-buffering which results in more evenly distributed precision is called w-buffering (see below). At the start of a new scene, the z-buffer must be cleared to a defined value, usually 1.0, because this value is the upper limit (on a scale of 0 to 1) of depth, meaning that no object is present at this point through the viewing ...
A stencil is a template used to draw or paint identical letters, symbols, shapes, or patterns every time it is used. The design produced by such a template is also called a stencil. It may also refer to: Stencil buffer, used in 3D computer graphics; Stencil code, a class of algorithms; Stencil graffiti, stencils used in street art

A type of armour very similar in design to brigandine, known as cloth surface armor bumianjia (Chinese:布面甲; Pinyin: Bù miàn jiǎ), or nail (fastener, not finger or toe nail) armor dingjia (Chinese: 釘甲; Pinyin: Dīng jiǎ), was used in medieval China. It consisted of rectangular metal plates riveted between the fabric layers with the ...
