Beyond Sorting: Deep Learning for Order-Independent Transparency

Traditional transparency rendering relies on depth sorting, which can lead to artifacts in complex scenes. This Eurographics 2025 paper explores Order-Independent Transparency (OIT), a technique that accurately renders transparent objects without depth sorting. It covers traditional OIT approaches (exact, approximate, and hybrid) and deep learning methods, analyzing their scope, performance, and accuracy for more realistic transparency in games, simulations, and film visual effects.
