abstract = "Order-independent transparency (OIT) rendering is computationally
intensive due to required sorting and sufficient memory to store
fragments before sorting. We present Dynamic Fragment Buffer, a
revamped two-pass OIT rendering technique, which performs correct
blending of a large number of transparent layers at interactive
frame rates. Our approach self-adjusts memory allocation to handle
a variable number of fragments per pixel without wasting memory.
In this paper we perform a detailed analysis of several design
decisions which lead to this technique. We present a collection of
experiments that illustrate the advantages of our technique with
respect to others OIT algorithms in the literature.",
