  • Methods and systems for providing texture tiling and mirroring
    Patent number: 8013863
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing texture tiling. The disclosed systems and methods may include copying a source image into a texture of a size the same or larger than the source image. Furthermore, the disclosed systems and methods may include displacing texture coordinates corresponding to the texture into a desired range. A displacement map may be used in displacing the texture coordinates. Moreover, the disclosed systems and methods may include rendering, within the desired range, an output image corresponding to the texture coordinates associated with the texture.
    Type: Grant

  • Compositing rendering layers
    Patent number: 7535480
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to applying effects to a target via compositing rendering layers. In aspects, an intent is determined and a area of a target copied to a surface based on the intent. Then, rendering may continue to the target without changing to another target. Later, the surface is composited back to the target to apply an effect to the target.
