Similar to stipple masking, the stencil buffer assists with the creation of transparent effects.
píáééäÉ=г~лвбеЦ píáééäÉ=г~лвбеЦ píáééäÉ=г~лвбеЦ píáééäÉ=г~лвбеЦ====
A technique that spatially creates transparent effects by rendering an object through various patterns.
píêÉ~гбеЦ=pfja píêÉ~гбеЦ=pfja píêÉ~гбеЦ=pfja píêÉ~гбеЦ=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.

Super Video Graphics Array. SVGA runs at 800 x 600.
qÉëëÉää~нбзе qÉëëÉää~нбзе qÉëëÉää~нбзе qÉëëÉää~нбзе====
The initial part of the 3D pipeline where the object is described by a set of triangles.
qÉñíìêÉ=j~ййбеЦ qÉñíìêÉ=j~ййбеЦ qÉñíìêÉ=j~ййбеЦ qÉñíìêÉ=j~ййбеЦ====
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.
qк~елСзкг~нбзе qк~елСзкг~нбзе qк~елСзкг~нбзе qк~елСзкг~нбзе====
The change in rotation, size, position, and perspective of an object in 3D space.
qк~елй~кЙеЕу qк~елй~кЙеЕу qк~елй~кЙеЕу qк~елй~кЙеЕу====
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.

Very High Resolution. VHR runs at 1280 x 1024.

Video Random Access Memory is an expensive, fast type of RAM that is used as display memory on
high-end graphics boards.

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.
