Abstract

A method and system for processing graphic objects on a computer with a memo ry and an attached display in a flexible manner is disclosed. The objective is accomplished by loading die graphic object in to a memory and rendering the graphic object based on the processing of vertex data in a modular manner separated from edge and triang le data (shards) to increase the efficiency of the rendering process. The method and system include capability for processing graphic objects on a computer with a memory and an attached display. The processing commences by receiving a plurality of vertices into memory an d storing them. Then, triangles are generated for a surface based on the plurality of vertices. Finally, a surface is rendered using the triangles to form the surface on the attached display.
