Advantages over other rendering methods Ray tracing's popularity stems from its basis in a realistic simulation of lighting over other rendering methods (such as scanline rendering or ray casting).
And could display 64 sprites at once, 16 per scanline, in 512 colors.
Algorithm The usual method starts with edges of projected polygons inserted into buckets, one per scanline; the rasterizer maintains an active edge table (AET).
Each scanline on a high-resolution computer monitor typically displays discrete pixels, each of which does not span the scanline above or below.
Consequently, most game developers limited their games to either 256, 352, or 512 pixels in display width for each of the three modes. citation *Y (Vertical) Resolution: variable, maximum of 242 (programmable in increments of 1 scanline).
By darkening areas of texture maps corresponding to corners, joints and recesses, and applying them via self-illumination or diffuse mapping, a radiosity-like effect of patch interaction could be created with a standard scanline renderer (cf.
