Rendering Artifacts are visual defects that appear unintentionally during graphics rendering. Typical examples include aliasing (jagged edges), tearing, z-fighting where surfaces are drawn alternately due to insufficient depth precision, banding where color steps look like stripes, texture shimmering, and shadow acne. Causes vary, including insufficient sampling, precision limits, and synchronization problems, and they are mitigated with techniques such as anti-aliasing, vertical sync, and bias adjustment.
