Abstract
A method and system for rendering a graphic object is disclosed. The method includes selecting a set of points of a graphic object for shading. At least one shading parameter is determined for application to the selected set of points of the graphic object. A shading parameter image is precalculated based on the determined at least one shading parameter. The shading parameter image is stored in a memory. The selected points are shaded using the shading parameter image to produce a shaded graphic object image via a graphic processor. The shaded graphic object image is rasterized into a frame image.
