Abstract
A rendering system and a method for generating a ray are provided. The method for performing a rendering process of a rendering system includes generating a primary ray to render an image, determining whether the primary ray is capable of generating at least one secondary ray, storing information on the primary ray in a reference memory in response to determining that the primary ray is capable of generating the at least one secondary ray; and generating the at least one secondary ray based on the stored information on the primary ray.
Claims21
A method for performing a rendering process of a rendering system, the method comprising:
- generating a primary ray to render an image;
- determining whether the primary ray is capable of generating at least one secondary ray;
- storing information on the primary ray in a memory in response to determining that the primary ray being capable of generating the at least one secondary ray;
- and
- generating the at least one secondary ray based on the information on the primary ray stored in the memory.
A rendering system comprising:
- a ray generator configured to generate a primary ray;
- a renderer configured to render an image based on the generated primary ray;
- a memory;
- and
- a controller configured to determine whether the primary ray is capable of generating at least one secondary ray, store information on the primary ray in the memory in response to determining that the primary ray is capable of generating the at least one secondary ray, and generate the at least one secondary ray based on the information on the primary ray stored in the memory.
A method of performing a rendering process of a rendering system, the method comprising:
- generating a primary ray to render an image;
- storing information on the primary ray in response to the primary ray being capable of generating a derivable secondary ray;
- and
- deleting the information on the primary ray in response to the primary ray not being capable of generating an additional derivable secondary ray.
