Difference between Stencil buffer and Z-buffering

Stencil buffer vs. Z-buffering

A stencil buffer is an extra data buffer, in addition to the color buffer and depth buffer, found on modern graphics hardware. 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 Stencil buffer and Z-buffering

Stencil buffer and Z-buffering have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Data buffer, Rendering (computer graphics), Stencil buffer, Z-fighting, 3D computer graphics.

Data buffer

In computer science, a data buffer (or just buffer) is a region of a physical memory storage used to temporarily store data while it is being moved from one place to another.

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.

Z-fighting

Demonstration of z-fighting with multiple colors and textures over a grey background Z-fighting, also called stitching, is a phenomenon in 3D rendering that occurs when two or more primitives have similar or identical values in the z-buffer.

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.

Stencil buffer and Z-buffering Comparison

Stencil buffer has 27 relations, while Z-buffering has 45. As they have in common 5, the Jaccard index is 6.94% = 5 / (27 + 45).
