Abstract: In one aspect, a method is performed by one or more processors. The method includes receiving a primary view image showing a scene from a view of a primary camera; depth values for one or more objects in the scene; and a camera offset between the primary camera and a secondary camera. The method further includes determining disparities for each pixel in the primary view image. The method further includes generating a secondary view image using the primary view image, the depth values, and the camera offset. At least some of the pixels are repositioned according to the determined disparities.

Abstract: A method performed by one or more processors includes: receiving model data defining a three-dimensional scene; rendering the three-dimensional scene into a primary view image showing the three-dimensional scene from a view of a primary camera; and generating, for each of at least some pixels in the primary view image, a disparity value that defines a disparity between a location of the pixel in the primary view image and an indicated location of the pixel in a secondary view image showing the three-dimensional scene from a view of a secondary camera.

Abstract: Among other disclosure, a computer-implemented method for retaining a surface detail includes identifying a surface that is to be used for generating an image in a rendering process. The surface includes polygons to be changed from an initial size to a larger size as the surface is changed to a lower resolution as part of tessellating the surface. The surface includes at least one surface detail smaller than the larger polygon size. The method includes storing information corresponding to at least a portion of the surface that includes polygons forming the surface detail. The method includes tesselating the surface, wherein the surface assumes the lower resolution. The method includes determining, while the image is at the lower resolution and using the stored information, a shading sample for at least one of the polygons of the larger size that includes the surface detail. The method includes storing the shading sample.
