We introduce multi-layer alpha blending, a novel solution to real- time order-independent transparency that operates in a single rendering pass and in bounded memory. The main contribution of our method is a new scalable approximation for the compositing equation that makes possible to easily trade off better image quality for more memory and lower performance. We demonstrate improved image quality and performance over previously published methods, while also reducing memory requirements.

Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors. Please refer to the applicable product User and Reference Guides for more information regarding the specific instruction sets covered by this notice.
