| 20120019533 | OPTIMAL POINT DENSITY USING CAMERA PROXIMITY FOR POINT-BASED GLOBAL ILLUMINATION - A computer-animated scene is shaded using a point in a point cloud. The point represents a sample location on a surface primitive of an object in the scene. The surface primitive lies at least partially within a camera viewing frustum of a virtual camera, which has a focal point. A sample location distance, which is a near plane distance of the camera viewing frustum or the length of a line between the sample location on the surface primitive and the focal point of the virtual camera, is determined. A solid angle of the surface primitive subtended at the focal point of the virtual camera is obtained. A desired point area of the point in the point cloud is determined based on the sample location distance and the solid angle. The scene is shaded using the desired point area of the point in the point cloud. | 01-26-2012 |
| 20110102440 | INFINITE COMPLEXITY DEEP-FRAMEBUFFER RENDERING - A method of rendering a scene with a plurality of objects includes rendering an object in a scene, wherein a portion of the object spans at least two of a plurality of non-overlapping tiles that subdivide the scene, and wherein the portion of the object is rendered only once in rendering the scene. The process further includes storing the rendered output of the object into a deep-framebuffer. While rendering the object and storing the rendered output of the object, in response to the size of the deep-framebuffer reaching a predetermined threshold, the steps that are performed include dividing the deep-framebuffer's contents based on the plurality of non-overlapping tiles, storing the divided contents of the deep-framebuffer in a plurality of tile files, and clearing the contents of the deep-framebuffer. | 05-05-2011 |
