Methods of 3D objects visualization with deferred rendering

Article depicts a method of deferred rendering utilized on modern hardware platforms. The use of deferred rendering methods can significantly reduce the amount of required calculations when there are more than eight lights in 3d scene. In contrast with traditional forward rendering methods, deferred rendering also discards pixels that would not complement to the final image. The phases of image drawing, required with the use of deferred rendering, are determined. A method of antialiasing, based on edge detection and implemented as a post-process effect, is described. Article presents a developed method of visualizing semi-transparent 3d objects with deferred rendering.
