Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed relating to rendering graphics objects. In some embodiments, a graphics unit is configured to transform graphics objects from a virtual space into a second space according to different transformation parameters for different portions of the second space. This may result in sampling different portions of the virtual space at different sample rates, which may reduce the number of samples required in various stages of the rendering process. In the disclosed techniques, transformation may occur prior to rasterization and shading, which may further reduce computation and power consumption in a graphics unit, improve image quality as displayed to a user, and/or reduce bandwidth usage or latency of video content on a network. In some embodiments, a transformed image may be viewed through a distortion-compensating lens or resampled prior to display.
