3D Clipping, in graphics technology is used to speed up your rendering engine. The most common clipping method is the 2D clipping algorithm. 2D clipping is done at the last stage of rendering. The triangle-routine used to render the polygons onto the screen make sure that you don’t draw outside the screen. This can be very fast, but increases the complexity of the triangle-filler. This clipping method works directly with two-dimensional screen-coordinates. In 3D clipping you do everything in 3D space. Map graphics are clipped to one side of an arbitrary clipping plane in one or more clipping stages. For example, to draw a hemisphere centered on a given point, the clipping plane passes through the center of the sphere and has a normal vector that coincides with the given point.
