|
MSAA
|
|
Multi-Sampled Anti-Aliasing. A basic anti-aliasing technique that takes
|
|
multiple samples of the depth buffer, and uses this information to
|
|
smooth the edges of polygons.
|
|
|
|
TCL
|
|
Transform, Clipping, & Lighting. The three stages of preparation in a
|
|
rasterizing pipeline prior to the actual rasterization of vertices into
|
|
fragments.
|
|
|
|
NPOT
|
|
Non-power-of-two. Usually applied to textures which have at least one
|
|
dimension which is not a power of two.
|
|
|
|
LOD
|
|
Level of Detail. Also spelled "LoD". The value that determines when the
|
|
switches between mipmaps occur during texture sampling.
|
|
|
|
layer
|
|
This term is used as the name of the "3rd coordinate" of a resource.
|
|
3D textures have zslices, cube maps have faces, 1D and 2D array textures
|
|
have array members (other resources do not have multiple layers).
|
|
Since the functions only take one parameter no matter what type of
|
|
resource is used, use the term "layer" instead of a resource type
|
|
specific one.
|
|
|
|
GLSL
|
|
GL Shading Language. The official, common high-level shader language used
|
|
in GL 2.0 and above.
