Abstract
A method, medium, and system of rendering image data, including receiving three-dimensional space data for each pixel forming the image data, the three-dimensional space data including depth and color information values for each pixel, determining an order of rendering for a plurality of surfaces forming the image data in an order of the distance between a rendering viewpoint and the surface forming the image data, generating splat depth information values for each splat included in the surface forming the image data, according to the rendering order, and determining whether the splat included in the surface forming the image data is required to be blended and accordingly selectively performing a blending on the splat.
