Hidden Line Removal

Hidden line removal is a stage up from simple wireframe models. Using hidden line removal, the faces are considered as well as the lines, and any wireframe line that is occluded by a polygonal face, is simply not drawn. This is the beginnings of the process of conversion from simple wireframes, to the 3D models we use today.
