Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method for determining a higher quality-plurality of intermediate rendering data performed by a computer system including a processor and memory that is programmed to perform the method comprises: performing by the processor of the computer system, a specific rendering operation for a plurality of scenes to form a lower quality plurality of intermediate rendering data for the specific rendering operation in the memory in response to a plurality of scene descriptor data associated with the plurality of scenes; processing by the processor of the computer system, the lower quality plurality of intermediate rendering data for the specific rendering operation from the memory to form a model for the plurality of intermediate rendering data in the memory; determining by the processor of the computer system the higher quality plurality of intermediate rendering data for the specific rendering operation in the memory in response to the model for the plurality of intermediate rendering data in the memory; performing by the processor of the computer system additional rendering operations to form a plurality of images with the processor, in response to the higher quality plurality of intermediate rendering data; and storing by the processor of the computer system representations of the plurality of images in a tangible media.
