Abstract
A system, apparatus and method of rendering images for computer graphics or animation at multiple levels of detail or resolution. The invention uses a hierarchical data structure and provides methods of generating and using that structure for rendering images. The invention generates a data structure containing data elements representing multiple resolutions of data and then determines a desired resolution for the image. The data elements in the data structure corresponding to the desired resolution are accessed and each data element in the accessed data is associated with a renderable primitive. The image is then rendered by processing the renderable primitive associated with each data element.
