Title: On demand geometry and acceleration structure creation
Inventor: JOHN HOWSON
IPC: G06T15/06
Filed: 2013-11-01
Abstract: Geometry processing for 3-D rendering involves producing geometric primitives located in a 3-D scene from source geometry data. A set of tile object lists is defined, wherein each tile object list contains data indicating which source geometry from the set of source geometry results in geometric primitives that are within a boundary of a respective tile of pixels of a 2-D image. An acceleration structure comprising a graph of elements, each defining a respective volume in the 3-D scene is produced. The 2-D image is rendered from the scene by using the tile object lists to identify a visible surface at each pixel of the 2-D image. Rays are traced in the 3-D scene, using the acceleration structure, from the identified visible surfaces to identify a primitive intersected by each of the rays, if any, and producing information contributing to a final shade for the visible surface at each pixel. To complete the rendering for a group of the pixels, rays are emitted from the visible surface for pixels and traversed in the 3-D scene, and traversing the rays in the 3-D scene.
