Abstract
A method and apparatus for rendering pixel information from blended texture information is accomplished by generating first texture information and second texture information for a given pixel location. Having generated this information, the first and second texture information is blended, based on a blending function, to produce blended texture information. The blended texture information is then used to render the pixel information at the given pixel location. This process continues for each pixel location of an object element of an object, image, and/or scene.
