Methods and graphics processing systems render items of geometry using a rendering space which is subdivided into a plurality of first regions. Each of the first regions is sub-divided into a plurality of second regions. Each of a plurality of items of geometry is processed by identifying which of the first regions the item of geometry is present within, and for each identified first region determining an indication of the spatial coverage, within the identified first region, of the item of geometry, and using the determined indication of the spatial coverage within the identified first region to determine whether to add the item of geometry to a first control list for the identified first region or to add the item of geometry to one or more second control lists for a respective one or more of the second regions within the identified first region. Items of geometry within a second region can then be rendered using: (i) the first control list for the first region of which the second region is a part, and (ii) the second control list for the second region.
A method of rendering an item of geometry within a plurality of first regions of a rendering space, each of the first regions being subdivided into a plurality of second regions, the method comprising:
A graphics processing system configured to render an item of geometry within a plurality of first regions of a rendering space, each of the first regions being subdivided into a plurality of second regions, wherein the graphics processing system comprises geometry processing logic configured to:
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer readable dataset description of a graphics processing system that, when processed in an integrated circuit manufacturing system, causes the integrated circuit manufacturing system to manufacture an integrated circuit embodying the graphics processing system which is configured to render an item of geometry within a plurality of first regions of a rendering space, each of the first regions being sub-divided into a plurality of second regions, wherein the graphics processing system comprises geometry processing logic configured to:
