Is fragment shader run on fragments that are outside of rasterized geometry?
In deferred rendering, I first write world position to G-Buffer, and then in shading part, I want to use that information to reproject in the previous frame and then write the final color.
However, ...

Irregular subpixel behaviour using cached render textures
We are implementing a "lazy container" that caches renders of an object at various cutoffs and scales up/down the render-textures from those caches instead of drawing the actual object directly. This ...

Why is Forward Rendering/Shading named this way?
Forward rendering is the 'classic' approach to the rendering pipeline.
Nowadays it is mostly replaced by a more flexible, deferred rendering approach.
I did some research and had trouble finding ...

GBuffer: Framebuffer with different texture format types?
I rely on this answer from Nathan Reed: How much precision do I need in my G-Buffer?
It is proposed to use two different texture formats for one Gbuffer.
However as far as I know, color texture ...

How to use shadow mapping and deferred rendering to create a large amount of lights?
Ok so I am trying to understand how to combine these 2 techniques and I am failing.
The main goal is to reach the O(lights+fragments) complexity of deferred rendering, instead of O(lights*fragments) ...
