More particularly, the systems, apparatuses and methods may provide a way to generate, responsively, a scene generation plan based on one or more of a digital representation of an N dimensional space or at least one of the one or more processing factors, and generate, by a global scene generator, a global scene common to the one or more client devices based on the digital representation of the space. The systems, apparatuses and methods may further provide for performing, by a local scene generator, at least a portion of the global illumination based on one or more of the scene generation plan, or application parameters. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A graphics apparatus comprising: a memory comprising a digital representation of an N dimensional space;
