Avoid Buffer Clearing

Clear only buffers that need to be cleared.

  • Color buffer: The color buffer does not have to be cleared if the scene is known to cover all of it.
    For instance, this is the case if the background image or a sky map covers the whole surface.
  • Stencil buffer: Only needs to be cleared if it is actually used.
  • Depth buffer: If depth test is enabled.
