METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HYBRID RENDERING

摘要

A hybrid rendering method includes subdividing a two-dimensional (2D) frame into virtual tiles (hereinafter, referred to as ‘tiles’); classifying the tiles into first tiles which include an object having reflective or transparent properties and second tiles which do not include the object having reflective or transparent properties; storing geometric information of a primitive in the first tiles in a graphics processing unit (GPU) internal memory; and generating a first image by rendering one or more of the first tiles via ray tracing using the geometric information, generating a second image by rendering one or more of the second tiles via rasterization, and outputting a final image by merging the first and second images.

1. A hybrid rendering method comprising:
subdividing a two-dimensional (2D) frame into tiles; classifying the tiles into first tiles comprising an object having reflective or transparent properties and second tiles lacking the object having the reflective or transparent properties; storing geometric information of a primitive in the first tiles in a graphics processing unit (GPU) internal memory; and generating a first image by rendering one or more of the first tiles via ray tracing using the geometric information of the primitive of the first tiles, generating a second image by rendering one or more of the second tiles via rasterization, and outputting a final image by merging the first and second images.
