Clipping and Projection


  • Next we perform clipping of the scene's objects againist a three dimensional viewing volume called a viewing frustum

  • This step totally eliminates any objects (and pieces of objects) that are not visible in the image

  • A clever trick is used to straighten out the viewing frustum in to a cube

  • Next the objects are projected into two-dimensions

  • Transformation from eye space to screen space
