Abstract

A method, a computer program, and a production renderer for accelerating a rendering process of an image are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes intercepting a first invocation of a function from a custom shader during a rendering process of an image, computing a result of the function employing a processor, and returning the result to the custom shader in response to a second invocation of the function during the rendering process.
