Class sandy.core.buffer.ZBuffer

sandy.core.buffer.ZBuffer

Description

Buffer of the z-depths.

This class is not a real Z-buffer as it is in all the real 3D engines. It handles the Z-sorting of MovieClips that's all in fact. The movieClips are drawn is the correct order to create the good depth effect. As this technic is fast but not very accurate, you may have some sorting problems when object faces are too close, or with large faces.
