Similar to stipple masking, the stencil buffer assists with the creation of transparent effects.
píáééäÉ=ã~ëâáåÖ
píáééäÉ=ã~ëâáåÖ píáééäÉ=ã~ëâáåÖ
píáééäÉ=ã~ëâáåÖ====
A technique that spatially creates transparent effects by rendering an object through various patterns.
píêÉ~ãáåÖ=pfja píêÉ~ãáåÖ=pfja píêÉ~ãáåÖ=pfja píêÉ~ãáåÖ=pfja====
An instruction set developed by Intel for Pentium III-processor based systems. Streaming SIMD can
improve 3D vertex transformation and lighting, among other operations.

SuperScene antialiasing ( see Antialiasing ) is an enhanced version of multisampling and offers true,
multisampled scene-based antialiasing of all OpenGL primitives in a scene. SuperScene Antialiasing is a
feature found only on Wildcat II 5000 graphics accelerators.

qÉëëÉää~íáçå====
The initial part of the 3D pipeline where the object is described by a set of triangles.
qÉñíìêÉ=j~ééáåÖ qÉñíìêÉ=j~ééáåÖ qÉñíìêÉ=j~ééáåÖ qÉñíìêÉ=j~ééáåÖ====
A technique that enables 2D graphic images to be “wrapped” around or “pasted” on to a 3D primitive.
Perspective correction and lighting calculations allow for added realism.

qê~åëÑçêã~íáçå====
The change in rotation, size, position, and perspective of an object in 3D space.
qê~åëé~êÉåÅó qê~åëé~êÉåÅó qê~åëé~êÉåÅó qê~åëé~êÉåÅó====
A function that refers to the rendering of transparent (non-opaque) objects. Transparency is generally
accomplished on a polygon rendering system using either screen-door transparency or alpha blending.

Also known as the Depth Buffer, the Z-Buffer is a region of memory containing the depth component of a
pixel. Used, for example, to eliminate hidden surfaces from the image.
