Abstract
A system and method for rapid processing of scene-graph-based data and/or programs is disclosed. In one embodiment, the system may be configured to utilize render molecules to more efficiently render objects. A render molecule is an object that defines the rest of the attribute settings for the geometries it contains. The attribute settings can include settings such as materials settings, the composite transform from the root of the scene graph to the objects contained in the render molecule.
