Difference between Painter's algorithm and Z-buffering

Painter's algorithm vs. Z-buffering

The painter's algorithm, also known as a priority fill, is one of the simplest solutions to the visibility problem in 3D computer graphics. In computer graphics, z-buffering, also known as depth buffering, is the management of image depth coordinates in 3D graphics, usually done in hardware, sometimes in software.

Similarities between Painter's algorithm and Z-buffering

Painter's algorithm and Z-buffering have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Polygon, Rendering (computer graphics), Visibility (geometry), 3D computer graphics.

Polygon

In elementary geometry, a polygon is a plane figure that is bounded by a finite chain of straight line segments closing in a loop to form a closed polygonal chain or circuit.

Rendering (computer graphics)

Rendering or image synthesis is the automatic process of generating a photorealistic or non-photorealistic image from a 2D or 3D model (or models in what collectively could be called a scene file) by means of computer programs.

Visibility (geometry)

Visibility in geometry is a mathematical abstraction of the real-life notion of visibility.

3D computer graphics

3D computer graphics or three-dimensional computer graphics, (in contrast to 2D computer graphics) are graphics that use a three-dimensional representation of geometric data (often Cartesian) that is stored in the computer for the purposes of performing calculations and rendering 2D images.

Painter's algorithm and Z-buffering Comparison

Painter's algorithm has 12 relations, while Z-buffering has 45. As they have in common 4, the Jaccard index is 7.02% = 4 / (12 + 45).
