Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for generating 3-dimensional computer graphic images. The image is first sub-divided into a plurality of rectangular areas. A display list memory is loaded with object data for each rectangular area. The image and shading data for each picture element of each rectangular area are derived from the object data in the image synthesis processor and a texturizing and shading processor. A depth range generator derives a depth range for each rectangular area from the object data as the imaging and shading data is derived. This is compared with the depth of each new object to be provided to the image synthesis processor and the object may be prevented from being provided to the image synthesis processor independence on the result of the comparison.

Claim (Index 14):
The method as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises:\n computing at a range generation unit a depth range for a tile being rendered by the rendering processor that represents the range of depth values for objects that have been processed for that tile; and feeding back computed depth ranges to the fetch unit for the tile being rendered by the rendering processor for use in depth range tests for objects identified in the tile list for that tile.
