For the optical model of emission and absorption we use alpha-blending instead of the maximum blend function. Here the emission is the RGB part of the fragment colors and the absorption is equivalent to the opacity A of the fragment colors.

Emission alone (order independent):

Absorption alone (order independent):

Emission plus absorption (order dependent):

Compared to MIP (order independent):

Emission und Absorption wird durch sog. Alpha-Blending erreicht:

In diesem Kontext entspricht die Emission dem RGB-Kanal und die Absorption dem Alpha-Kanal der aktuellen Render-Farbe.
