Claim One:
1. A device to render two-dimensional (2D) imagery from three-dimensional (3D) model data comprising: a processor circuit; a fine rasterizing component for execution on the processor circuit to employ multiple screen image samples per screen image pixel of a screen image to perform fine rasterization of a 3D model to identify a set of visible primitives of the 3D model that are visible from a perspective of the screen image; a coarse rasterizing component for execution on the processor circuit to employ a single shading image sample per shading image pixel of a shading image that corresponds to the screen image to perform coarse rasterization of the 3D model from the perspective of the screen image to identify at least one primitive along a path of a shading image sample associated with a shading image pixel; and a shading component for execution on the processor circuit to determine whether each of the at least one primitives identified as along the path of the shading image sample are identified as a visible primitive in the set of visible primitives and shade each of the at least one primitives identified as along the path of the shading image sample and identified as a visible primitive in the set of visible primitives to derive a first color value for the shading image pixel associated with the shading image sample.
