A Sony/IBM rendering patent

[Titanio]

Stumbled across this and thought it might be of interest, it's a joint SCEI/IBM patent. It was filed for in July 04, published late last month:

"Method to improve photorealistic 3D rendering of dynamic viewing angle by embedding shading results into the model surface representation "

I've not read it yet, so I can't vouch for its relevance/quality/significance or how original its contribution is, but I figured it might possibly be a good point of discussion. At least, it's interesting to see IBM and Sony working together on rendering (and this was done at Austin).

 

["Nerve-Damage"]

Hmmm?

Now where did I see this?

Oops! My bad. I figured it was thread-worthy, though I've not read it fully yet.

From what I remember; its about improving raytracing, radiosity, HDR, ECT.....
