Abstract

A method of generating identifiers (IDs) for primitives and optionally vertices during tessellation. The IDs include a binary sequence of bits that represents the sub-division steps taken during the tessellation process and so encodes the way in which tessellation has been performed. Such an ID may subsequently be used to generate a random primitive or vertex and hence recalculate vertex data for that primitive or vertex.
