by checking if the x, y and z components are inside the range of [-w, w].
One checks each vector component seperately against each plane. Per-vertex
data like colours, normals and texture coordinates need to be linearly
interpolated for clipped edges to reflect the change. If the edge (v0,v1)
is tested against the positive x plane, and v1 is outside, the interpolant
becomes: (v1.x - w) / (v1.x - v0.x)
I skip this stage all together to be brief.
