Claim One:
1. A method of deferred rendering of computer-generated content, the method comprising: generating a respective depth map for each of a set of computer-generated input images of a scene; generating a depth volume from the generated depth maps, the depth volume corresponding to a three-dimensional (3D) representation of a light field representing light rays from the scene; determining a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) subsets of the depth volume corresponding to a plurality of 2 D subsets of the 3 D representation of the light field, wherein at least one 2 D subset of the depth volume corresponds to a cut by non-planar surface with_the depth volume; determining a plurality of the computer-generated input images whose respective depth maps are included in the determined 2 D subsets of the depth volume; and rendering, by a computer system, the determined plurality of the computer-generated input images.
