Claim:
1. A graphics processor comprising: a three-dimensional (3D) graphics processing pipeline including a vertex processor and a pixel processor, the 3D graphics processing pipeline to determine, during a run of the vertex processor, a set of parameters to be used during multiple pixel rendering passes through the pixel processor, the set of parameters to be determined for a geometric object to be enhanced; wherein the 3D graphics processing pipeline is further to render a scene including an enhanced depiction of the geometric object based on the multiple pixel rendering passes, the enhanced depiction including one or more graphical effects for the geometric object; and wherein the set of parameters for the geometric object includes pixel shader data associated with the pixel processor of the 3D graphic processing pipeline, the pixel shader data including multiple sets of pixel shader programming code to execute via the pixel processor during the multiple pixel rendering passes for the scene.
