Questions about earlyz
Shawn Chang
over 4 years ago
Even if the drawcall of the alpha test is occluded, the occluded part of the fragments will not be rejected by earlyz, right?
Because the alpha test will make the whole drawcall use late z? How about the earlyz of subsequent drawcalls? Can they use the z of previous alpha test drawcall to reject fragments by earlyz?
Drawcall 2 follows drawcall 1. When drawcall 1 has alpha test or z is changed, drawcall 2 will work according to which of the following methods:
Drawcall 2 has been waiting for the end of drawcall 1 and updating z before starting the process
Drawcall 2 does not wait for the end of drawcall 1 to start immediately, but will use latez instead of earlyz
Drawcall 2 uses earlyz, but only compares with the z of the drawcalls before drawcall 1 (provided that the z direction is not changed)
