METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RENDERING 3D GRAPHIC OBJECT

摘要

A method and an apparatus for rendering a 3D graphics object are provided to remove unnecessary partial pixels of the entire pixels included in a scan line and transfer only the removed remaining pixels to a series of rendering processes, thereby improving the efficiency of a series of the rendering processes processed in parallel. A method for rendering a 3D(Three-Dimensional) graphics object comprises the following steps of: generating the scan line of a primitive constituting the 3D object(810); reconstituting the scan line by removing a part of pixels in consideration of the visibility of pixels included in the generated scan line(820); and assigning the color of each pixel included in the reconstituted scan line(830).
