Question

In 3D graphics, which statements are true?

P: Back-face culling is an example of image-precision visible-surface determination.

Q: In single-sample rasterization, a Z-buffer stores a depth value for each pixel and uses depth comparisons to determine visible surfaces; its numerical precision depends on the implementation.

The correct answer is

Q only

P is false: back-face culling classifies entire faces by their orientation, so it is an object-precision operation rather than a per-pixel visibility test. Q is true: the Z-buffer compares fragment depths at each pixel to retain the visible surface. Depth formats vary, including common 16-, 24- and 32-bit formats. Therefore Q only is true.

  4. In 3D Graphics, which of the following statements about perspective and parallel projection is/are true?

    P: In a perspective projection, the farthest an object is from the center of projection, the smaller it appears.

    Q: Parallel projection is equivalent to a perspective projection where the viewer is standing infinitely far away

    R: Perspective projections do not preserve straight lines.
  5. Which of the following statements is/are True regarding the solution to the visibility problem in 3D graphics?

    S1: The Painter’s algorithm sorts polygons by depth and then paints (scan - converts) each Polygon on to the screen starting with the most nearest polygon.

    S2: Backface Culling refers to eliminating geometry with backfacing normals.
