Description: Z-buffering is a rendering technique used in computer graphics to manage the visibility of objects in a three-dimensional scene. However, it has several limitations that can affect the quality and efficiency of rendering. One of the main limitations is the precision of the Z-buffer, which depends on the buffer resolution and depth range. In complex scenes, where there are objects very close and far away, a phenomenon known as ‘z-fighting’ can occur, where two or more surfaces compete for the same pixel, resulting in visual artifacts. Additionally, the Z-buffer consumes a significant amount of memory, especially at high resolutions, which can be a problem on resource-limited devices. Another limitation is that Z-buffering does not handle transparency well, as it cannot correctly determine which object should be visible when there are semi-transparent elements in the scene. This can lead to undesirable results, where objects are not rendered realistically. Finally, Z-buffering is less efficient in scenes with many occluded objects, as they are still processed to determine their depth, resulting in unnecessary computational resource usage. These limitations mean that while Z-buffering is a fundamental technique in computer graphics, it is not a perfect solution for all rendering scenarios.
