  • System for softening images in screen space
    Publication number: 20060274064
    Abstract: A graphics rendering system and method is disclosed, in which color values for certain pixels appearing on the screen may be adjusted to create a blurring effect. A pixel-by-pixel comparison may be used to compare differences in depth, as noted in a depth buffer, and if pixel depths are sufficiently close, the pixel's color may be softened to take into account color values of neighboring pixels.
