Abstract: In a graphics processing system, a first bounding volume (20) representative of the volume of all or part of a scene to be rendered is defined. Then, when rendering a scene for output, an intersection position (27) for a vector (24) with the first bounding volume (20) is determined by determining the position (51) intersected by the vector (24) on a second bounding volume (50) associated with the first bounding volume (20), using the determined position (51) to determine information indicative of an intersection position (27) for the first bounding volume (20) and the vector (24), and using the determined information to determine an intersection position (27) for the vector (24) with the first bounding volume (20).
