Abstract: In accordance with one implementation, a system for rendering dimensional surface content in a low-memory environment includes a dimensional surface content rendering tool to generate an animation object file defining inputs to a particle system, and an application that generates scene instructions based on output received from the particle system, the scene instructions including coordinate information for rendering an object at a series of positions. The system further includes a graphics engine that autonomously produces a series of draw commands responsive to receipt of the scene instructions to render multiple complete frames of an animation in a window of the application, the animation depicting the object at the series of positions.
