Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for rendering computer graphics. In various embodiments, a displacement map is created for a plurality of surfaces and a tessellation process is initiated. It is determined that the tessellation density of a first set of surfaces and a second set of surfaces should be modified based on the displacement map. Based on the displacement map, a tessellation factor scale for each surface of the first set of surfaces is increased and a tessellation factor scale for each surface of the second set of surfaces is decreased, respectively.
