The potentials for zbuffer output is unlimited... You could
essentially do 3D compositing, after rendering. It would allow for the
easy use of LW stills as backgrounds for videogames, for example, like
Leisure suit larry, where the character walks behind certian objects
in the scene.Think of how easily really impressive multimedia
presentations could be made. Instead of rendering a whole 30 second
anim, you could generate it on the fly as a 2D anim using a bkground image and
its depth info to overlay an image sequence...
Anyhow... my 2pence
