Abstract:
An image synthesizing system for forming a displayed image, comprising:a plurality of image computing units for determining coordinates of each of dots in polygons forming said displayed image and texture coordinates corresponding to said coordinates of dots by parallel calculation, said coordinates of dots and said texture coordinates being determined by three dimensional computation which includes perspective transformation;a plurality of field buffer units for storing said texture coordinates determined by said image computing units at an address specified by said coordinates of dots, instead of storing color data, the field buffer units storing said texture coordinates per pixel unit;a multiplexer unit for selecting said texture coordinates input from said field buffer units;only one rendering data storage unit for storing rendering data which include color data at an address specified by said texture coordinates input from said multiplexer unit, wherein said rendering data storage unit is shared by said plurality of field buffer units; anda color synthesizing unit for receiving the color data which is included in the rendering data input from said rendering data storage unit and for synthesizing color to be displayed.
