Abstract
A method of rendering a view is disclosed. Three occlusion planes associated with an interior cavity of a three-dimensional object included in the view are created. The three occlusion planes are positioned based on a camera position and orientation. Any objects or parts of objects that are in a line of sight between the camera and any one of the three occlusion planes are culled. The view is rendered from the perspective of the camera.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- one or more computer processors;
- one or more computer memories;
- a set of instructions stored in the one or more computer memories, the set of instructions configuring the one or more computer processors to perform operations comprising:
- determining an interior cavity of an object in a view;
- determining a geometric shape that represents the interior cavity;
- creating three occlusion planes associated with the geometric shape that represents the interior cavity;
- positioning the three occlusion planes based on the geometric shape and on a camera position and orientation;
- culling any objects or parts of objects that are in a line of sight between the camera and any one of the three occlusion planes;
- and
- rendering the view from the perspective of the camera.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a set of instructions that, when executed by one or more computer processors, causes the one or more computer processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- determining an interior cavity of an object in a view;
- determining a geometric shape that represents the interior cavity;
- creating three occlusion planes associated with the geometric shape that represents the interior cavity;
- positioning the three occlusion planes based on a camera position and orientation;
- culling any objects or parts of objects that are in a line of sight between the camera and any one of the three occlusion planes;
- and
- rendering the view from the perspective of the camera.
