Enable Depth Buffering
How do I make depth buffering work?
Depth Buffer and Perspective Rendering
Depth buffering doesn't work in my perspective rendering. What's going on?
Write Image To Depth Buffer
How do I write a previously stored depth image to the depth buffer?
Depth Buffer Precision
Depth buffering seems to work, but polygons seem to bleed through polygons that are in front of them. What's going on?
Why is my depth buffer precision so poor?
Why is there more precision at the front of the depth buffer?
How do I turn off the zNear clipping plane?
See this question in the Clipping section.
There is no way that a standard-sized depth buffer will have enough precision for my astronomically large scene. What are my options?
