Early stencil culling
I'm trying to get early fragment culling to work, based on the stencil test.
My scenario is the following: I have a fragment shader that does a lot of work, but needs to be run only on very few fragments when I render my scene. These fragments can…

Frustum culling when Bounding Box is really big
When bounding box's all 8 vertex is out side the frustum, it won't be rendered.

Loose octrees for frustum culling - Need some advice
I am implementing frustum culling for dynamic objects into my engine and have been reading as mush as I can about "loose octrees". Unfortunately most sources are quite vague and really it's just lots of posts of people saying how good they are and…

Back facing polygons in opengl
In OpenGL you can draw only back-facing polygons, only front facing polygons or both. If you render a manifold triangle mesh, then clear the frame-buffer but not the depth buffer, then again render only the back facing polygons. What do expect to…

handling large bitmaps in OpenGL ES and Android
I created a map app that uses a very large image as my map. It shows high resolution tiles when the user zooms in to a certain degree and a lower-res bitmap of the whole image when zoomed out past 50%. It works OK, on my origional droid sometimes I…

Opengl Mirror transform backface culling
In openGL, I've got an object that I scale by -1 along an axis... this results in the object not rendering properly because all the front faces are now back faces. Short of disabling culling, how would I get this object to render right? Is there a…

Choice of sphere/frustum overlap test
I’m trying to comprehend something that’s probably a lot easier than I think right now so hopefully someone might be able to help me understand what I describe below.
I know that a sphere is outside the view frustum if it’s completely behind at…

Efficient frustum culling while using shaders
I'd like to know what's the most efficient way of doing frustum culling using the programmable pipeline. I mean, if I understand correctly, following the method described here: Geometric Aproach (by the way the only method described there that…

Three.js Unculled SkyBox
I am attempting to have my skybox not be affected by the camera.far parameter. I would like to cull all other scene objects with this just not the skybox.
When I set skyBox.frustumCulled = false; it makes no difference. skyBox being the mesh of…

Frustum and sphere intersection
I'm reading along this neat article here: Frustum Culling
and it reads that to find the distance between a sphere and a frustum side (a plane) is:
C = center of sphere
N = normal of plane
D = distance of plane along normal from origin
Distance =…

Vertex Winding Order in DX11
I'm trying to draw a simple square with dx11, but the order of the indices of each triangle determines whether or not it shows up. I set the cull mode to none in the rasterizer state, but it doesn't seem to change anything.
If I specify the…

Culling offscreen tiles in an Isometric engine
For a university term project, I'm working on a graphical roguelike (I'm aware of the contradiction in terms :P) that uses an isometric display. What I'm trying to figure out is, since drawing all the tiles is stupidly expensive and unnecessary,…

Incorrect-Reversed Backface Culling?
glEnable(GL_CULL_FACE);
glCullFace(GL_BACK);
I have been trying to implement deferred rendering for 2 weeks. But all of the meshes in my test program are culled reversely. The code above should be the correct way to render a model. Every example i…

How to lookup screen-bounded tile indices in a rotated tilemap?
Normally, an Axis-aligned (rotation = 0) tilemap is easy to iterate through the visible tiles on the screen.
But how do you "cull" or filter the tile indexes when the entire tilemap is rotated?
NOTE: This is for improving a tile-rendering class in…

OpenGL Back Face Culling Causing Weird Results
I'm trying to create a simple cell shader effect, and it involves back and front face culling. But so far, my culling results are rather odd.
Setup OpenGL source code:
