Abstract:
1. A method for rendering hogels, wherein the method is configured to be executed by one or more processors coupled to one or more memory units, the method comprising: notifying one or more rendering nodes that all-rendering-is-complete based at least in part on determining that each of the one or more rendering nodes completes rendering of corresponding one or more subsets of hogel data from 3D data, wherein the rendering nodes are configured to convert the 3D data to the one or more subsets of hogel data, wherein the notifying is being performed by the one or more processors; causing the one or more rendering nodes to output the corresponding one or more subsets of hogel data based at least in part on notifying the one or more rendering nodes that all-rendering-is-complete; determining that all output is complete based at least in part on determining that the one or more rendering nodes outputs the corresponding one or more subsets of hogel data; receiving a temporal frame of the 3D data from a 3D data source; distributing the temporal frame of the 3D data to the one or more rendering nodes; receiving an end-of-temporal-frame command from the 3D data source; distributing the end-of-temporal-frame command to the one or more rendering nodes; and notifying the 3D data source that all-output-is-complete based at least in part on determining that all output is complete.
