Abstract: A technique for determining the centroid for fragments generated using variable rate shading. Because the barycentric interpolation used to determine texture coordinates for pixels is based on the premise that the point being interpolated is within the triangle, centroids that are outside of the triangle can produce undesirable visual artifacts. Another concern, however, is that the further the centroid is from the center of a pixel, the less accurate quad-based pixel derivatives become for attributes of that pixel. To address these concerns, the position of the sample that is both covered by the triangle and the closest to the center of the pixel, out of all covered samples of the pixel, is used as the centroid for a partially covered pixel. For a fully covered pixel (all samples in a pixel are covered by a triangle), the center of that pixel is used as the centroid.

Abstract: One embodiment sets forth a method for transforming 3-D images into 2-D rendered images using render target sample masks. A software application creates multiple render targets associated with a surface. For each render target, the software application also creates an associated render target sample mask configured to select one or more samples included in each pixel. Within the graphics pipeline, a pixel shader processes each pixel individually and outputs multiple render target-specific color values. For each render target, a ROP unit uses the associated render target sample mask to select covered samples included in the pixel. Subsequently, the ROP unit uses the render target-specific color value to update the selected samples in the render target, thereby achieving sample-level color granularity.
