Fixed Function Pipeline


The part of Microsoft?Direct3D?that pushes geometry through the fixed function geometry pipeline is the transformation engine. It locates the model and viewer in the world, projects vertices for display on the screen, and clips vertices to the viewport. The transformation engine also performs lighting computations to determine diffuse and specular components at each vertex.
