Abstract

A method and apparatus for rendering 3D graphics data. The method includes analyzing a characteristic of input 3D graphics data, reconstructing a rendering function based on the analyzed characteristic, and rendering the input 3D graphics data using the reconstructed rendering function. The characteristic of 3D graphics data to be rendered is analyzed and a rendering function is reconstructed only using code blocks corresponding to the analyzed characteristic, thereby minimizing the size of the rendering function.
