  • Method and a production renderer for accelerating image rendering
    Patent number: 10269166
    Abstract: A method, a computer program, and a production renderer for accelerating a rendering process of an image are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes intercepting a first invocation of a function from a custom shader during a rendering process of an image, computing a result of the function employing a processor, and returning the result to the custom shader in response to a second invocation of the function during the rendering process.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 16, 2017
    Date of Patent: April 23, 2019
    Assignee: Nvidia Corporation
    Inventors: Enzo Catalano, Rajko Yasui-Schoeffel, Ken Dahm, Nikolaus Binder, Alexander Keller
  • Material representation data structure and method of representing a material for digital image synthesis
    Patent number: 9947132
    Abstract: A material representation data structure and a method of representing a material for digital image synthesis. The data structure may be embodied in a graphics processing subsystem, including: (1) a memory configured to store a material representation data structure according to which a material is declaratively represented by a property indicative of an interaction between the material and light, and (2) a processor operable to gain access to the memory and employ the property in a rendering procedure defined independent of the material representation data structure and designed to effect the interaction.
