  • METHOD AND SYSTEM OF DECOUPLED OBJECT SPACE SHADING
    Publication number: 20250124641
    Abstract: A method for generating a graphic display of frame images comprises collecting one or more graphic objects to be rendered into a frame image, the one or more graphic objects being represented as a mesh in object space; determining one or more shadels to be computed for the frame image based at least on the one or more input attributes for each of the one or more graphic objects, each shadel being a shaded portion of the mesh; allocating space in a shadel storage buffer for the one or more shadels; populating a work queue buffer, the work queue buffer containing a list of commands to be executed to compute each of the one or more shadels; computing the determined one or more shadels to generate a shaded mesh; and rasterizing the shaded mesh into the frame image. The method can be implemented using a graphics processing unit (GPU).
