Improved Alpha Testing Using Hashed Sampling

We further describe and analyze the idea of hashed alpha testing from Wyman and McGuire, which builds on stochastic alpha testing and simplifies stochastic transparency. Typically, alpha testing provides a simple mechanism to mask out complex …

Hashed Alpha Testing

Renderers apply alpha testing to mask out complex silhouettes using alpha textures on simple proxy geometry. While widely used, alpha testing has a long-standing problem that is underreported in the literature, but observable in commercial games: …
