Abstract: The ZZ-buffer is a simple acceleration scheme for ray tracing that can be applied to a wide variety of scenes, including those with small features, textured and transparent surfaces, shadows and penubrae, and depth-of-field effects. In this paper, we describe how the ZZ-buffer algorithm can be adapted to the rendering of scenes defined by constructive solid geometry.

Keyword(s): ray tracing, antialiasing, constructive solid geometry, transparent surfaces, display buffers, visible-surface algorithms, rendering algorithms
