    Patent number: 6816164
    Abstract: A method is provided by which a texture is created by layering previously stored patterns and by applying a desired color to each layered pattern. The patterns are layered into an accumulation buffer which converts the layered patterns of selected colors into a bitmap image representative of the particular texture created by the layering and color selection process. The texture drawing is temporarily stored in the accumulation buffer, and is later mapped onto a three-dimensional model or character image for display.
