The invention relates to an image-generating engine capable of generating images for a host application from procedural data, including: a module for scanning a sequential procedural graph for image generation; a module for calculating intermediate results; a module for calculating the time for rendering intermediate results; a module for calculating the weight of the intermediate results; memory modules for storing the graph G and the corresponding lists L0, L1, L2, L3 and M; a comparison and deletion module, suitable for comparing the available memory space for storing new intermediate result data or previously existing data with a given minimum threshold, and for deleting intermediate result data if said memory space available for storing new intermediate result data is lower than said threshold. |
