3d graphic cards work completely different.  First they only use rastered
2d textures, second they all use scanline rendering techniques.  

BTW, Chris Huff's new blur method in fact does something like 3d rastering
and interpolation, different interpolation methods like linear and cubic
would proably be a useful feature.
