摘要:
A graphics pipeline system is provided for graphics processing. Such system includes a transform module adapted for receiving vertex data. The transform module serves to transform the vertex data from a first space to a second space. Further, the transform module of the graphics pipeline system is capable of carrying out a blending operation. Coupled to the transform module is a lighting module which is positioned on the single semiconductor platform for performing lighting operations on the vertex data received from the transform module. During use, the lighting module of the graphics pipeline system is capable of carrying out a fog operation.

A graphics pipeline system is provided with an integrated clipping operation. First included is a transform module adapted for being coupled to a buffer to receive graphics data therefrom. Such transform module is positioned on a single semiconductor platform for transforming the graphics data from a first space to a second space. Also provided is a lighting module coupled to the transform module and positioned on the same single semiconductor platform as the transform module. The lighting module is adapted for performing lighting operations on the graphics data received from the transform module. A range clamp inversion function and a clipping operation are performed on the same single semiconductor platform as the transform module and the lighting module.

摘要:
A method and system for implementing programmable texture lookups from texture coordinate sets. The method includes the step of generating a plurality of texture coordinates using a shader module. The shader module executes floating point calculations on received pixel data to generate the texture coordinates. A plurality of texture values are fetched using the texture coordinates. The fetching is performed by a texture unit coupled to receive the texture coordinates from the shader module. The fetching of the texture values is programmable with respect to the texture coordinates such that the number of texture coordinates are decoupled from the number of textures.
