Abstract:
1. A method for creating computer generated images of objects, comprising: dividing 3D data for ray tracing into a grid of voxels; the grid comprises at least three skewed 3D modules of data, the voxels of each module are geographically adjacent only to voxels of two other modules of data; the 3D modules of data comprising equal size voxels, each voxel is a cube with six faces, each voxel contains data, each adjacent voxel is attached to one of the faces of the voxel cube; mapping modules of data to an array of processors, wherein the processors are linked to each other by ring topology, such that each processor is adjacent only to two other processors; a neighborhood of processors is correlated with geographical neighborhood of the modules of data, wherein two geographically adjacent voxels can be communicated by two neighboring processors via the closest distance on the ring.
