Sounds like Z-buffering to me <g>, although technically it should all happen in
the renderer as with LenZfx. In the renderer there would be a higher degree of
pixel interpolation, which would result in a smoother transition at the
sub-pixel level. On balance however, the results of using a depth mask are
quite satisfactory and I haven't experienced the potential problems associated
with true z-buffering. So I guess to be more accurate, it should be called a
z-buffering technique.

Really… love to see it. 🙂
