Rendering textures utilizing sharpness maps

A system comprising:

• one or more memory devices comprising:
• a two-dimensional (2D)-displacement map comprising feature values corresponding to surface normal offsets for a three dimensional (3D)-object mesh;
• and
• one or more computing devices configured to cause the system to:
• identify discontinuity lines within a two-dimensional (2D)-displacement map;
• generate a 2D-sharpness map specific to the 2D-displacement map by:
• generating one or more texels that map to the 2D-displacement map;
• encoding one or more discontinuity points with the one or more texels representing intersections of the one or more texels with the discontinuity lines of the 2D-displacement map;
• and
• encoding one or more discontinuity configuration bit flags with the one or more texels to indicate instructions for generating discontinuity lines between the one or more discontinuity points within the one or more texels.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• identifying discontinuity lines within a two-dimensional (2D)-displacement map comprising feature values corresponding to surface normal offsets for a three-dimensional (3D)-object mesh;
• generating a 2D-sharpness map comprising at least one texel encoded with one or more discontinuity points and a discontinuity configuration bit flag to represent discontinuity lines corresponding to one or more discontinuities from the discontinuity lines of the 2D-displacement map;
• and
• generating, for display within a graphical user interface, a 3D object utilizing a filtered 2D-displacement texture generated from sampling the 2D-displacement map based on the 2D-sharpness map to select one or more feature values of the 2D-displacement map positioned on a same side of one or more discontinuity lines of the at least one texel of the 2D-sharpness map.
