In 3D, when part of a screen is "empty" -- when ''nothing'', not even a skybox, is rendered on part of a screen -- the contents of the previous frame show through on that screen, creating a "hall of mirrors" or "afterimage" effect. Furthermore, in ''Halo 3'', random red and blue patterns tend to appear in such spaces. When taking a screenshot, a solid color (usually sky blue) fills such spaces. | *The "[[Halo 3 Engine#Hall of mirrors effect|hall of mirrors effect]]".
