Deferred rendering
Detailed surfaces and clustered lighting. Deferred combines a G-buffer, shared materials and Forward passes for transparency.
- G-buffer and clustered lighting
- Forward passes for transparency
- TAA, FXAA, SMAA
Lighting from surface data
The G-buffer stores surface data for lighting. Transparent and specialized materials use separate Forward passes.

A clear frame in motion
Use TAA, FXAA, SMAA and temporal upscaling. Deferred does not support MSAA.

See what makes the frame
Switch lighting, material, geometry and buffer views in the 3D viewport. Forward+, Mobile and Compatibility remain separate rendering options.

Questions and answers
Does Deferred support MSAA?
No: this mode uses other antialiasing methods. Enabling MSAA is not a Deferred quality improvement.
Should I always choose Deferred?
No. Compare suitable renderers with your content/device, particularly for mobile/browser targets.
