Abstract
3D engines, software used to render images from 3D data, for the most part vary little
in the technology utilised. All engines commercially available employ the same basic
techniques for rasterisation. An alternative approach to that commonly used will be
presented, which provides a cleaner result with comparable efficiency.
The history of 3D engines dates back before the era of personal computers. With
such limited resources of the time, only basic routines could be used. As technology
improved, these same methods were improved to eventually form what we now use
today. While some of the modern adaptations are innovative, it is put forward that a
change in technique from the standard practice is warranted to be more inline with the
demanding requirements of modern applications.
