About the Contributors
Introduction
This book targets the design of a renderer. A renderer is a very complex software module that requires attention to a lot of details. The requirements and attention also vary greatly on different hardware platforms. The chapters here cover various aspects of engine design, such as quality and optimization, in addition to high-level architecture.
The chapter āMulti-Fragment Effects on the GPU Using Bucket Sortā covers a technique on how to render order-independent transparency by utilizing a bucket sort system. Tr...
