Abstract
Systems and methods provide subsurface scattering on graphical images displayed for wagering games.
Claims21
A system comprising:
- at least one processor and a memory operable to present a component of wagering game upon which monetary value may be wagered;
- and
- at least one graphics processing unit coupled to the at least one processor, the graphical processor operable to:
- receive a graphical object for the component,
- receive a position of a light source,
- receive a position of a bounding geometry,
- for each pixel in a set of pixels in the graphical object, performing the actions of:
- compute a distance from the pixel to an edge of the bounding geometry along a vector including the pixel and the light source,
- determine a display property of the pixel in accordance with the distance, and
- display the set of pixels in accordance with the display property of each pixel.
7 more elements
A method for execution by one or more processors, the method comprising:
- receiving a graphical object in a wagering game upon which monetary value may be wagered;
- receiving a position of a light source;
- receiving a position of a bounding geometry;
- for each pixel in a set of pixels in the graphical object, performing the actions of:
- computing by the one or more processors a distance from the pixel to an edge of the bounding geometry along a vector including the pixel and the light source,
- determining by the one or more processors a display property of the pixel in accordance with the distance;
- and
- displaying the set of pixels in accordance with the display property for each pixel in the set of pixels.
5 more elements
A machine-readable medium having machine executable instructions for causing one or more processors to perform a method, the method comprising:
- receiving a graphical object in a wagering game upon which monetary value may be wagered;
- receiving a position of a light source;
- receiving a position of a bounding geometry;
- for each pixel in a set of pixels in the graphical object, performing the actions of:
- computing a distance from the pixel to an edge of the bounding geometry along a vector including the pixel and the light source,
- determining a display property of the pixel in accordance with the distance;
- and
- displaying the set of pixels in accordance with the display property for each pixel in the set of pixels.
