Abstract
A 3-dimensional computer graphics rendering system receives object data for a scene to be rendered. This includes vertex data and index data. The scene is subdivided into priority of rectangular areas (202). Object 8 of each rectangular area in the scene is assembled (203) and subsequently compressed (207). This data can subsequently be retrieved and decompressed and used for producing a properly shaded and texted image for display.
