Abstract
Aspects presented herein relate to methods and devices for graphics processing including an apparatus, e.g., a GPU. The apparatus may divide at least one scene into a plurality of meshlets, each of the meshlets including a plurality of primitives, and each of the primitives including plurality of vertices. The apparatus may also calculate a pair of texture coordinates for each of the plurality of vertices. Further, the apparatus may select a size of each of the plurality of meshlets in the at least one scene based on the pair of the texture coordinates and based on a perspective projection of each of the plurality of meshlets. The apparatus may also calculate layout information in a meshlet atlas for each of the meshlets in the at least one scene. Moreover, the apparatus may shade each of a plurality of pixels in the meshlet atlas based on the calculated layout information.
