Early-Z

이 문서는 Depth Pre-Pass 의 중복본입니다. Canonical 문서로 redirect.

핵심 요약

• Early-Z = depth test 매 fragment shader 이전에 실행 → occluded fragment 매 shader 실행 skip.
• 조건: discard / depth write in shader 매 없을 때 GPU가 자동 활성화.
• Depth Pre-Pass 매 Early-Z를 maximize 하는 standard pattern (z-only first pass → color pass).

🔗 Graph

• 부모: Depth Pre-Pass (canonical)
• Adjacent: Z-Buffer · Hi-Z Culling
