Abstract
A graphics rendering system is disclosed for generating and streaming graphics data of a 3D environment from a server for rendering on a client in 2.5D. 2D textures can be transmitted in advance of frames showing the textures. Data transmitted for each frame can include 2D vertex positions of 2D meshes and depth data. The 2D vertex positions can be positions on a 2D projection as seen from a viewpoint within the 3D environment. Data for each frame can include changes to vertex positions and/or depth data. A prediction system can be used to predict when new objects will be displayed, and textures of those new objects can be transmitted in advance.
