Abstract
A system and method are provided for rendering a hogel in a single rendering pass. Data representative of a geometric shape having multiple vertices are processed to determine if the geometric shape has at least one vertex on a first side and at least one vertex on a second side of a hologram plane. When the geometric shape has at least one vertex on the first side of a hologram plane and at least one vertex on the second side of the hologram plane, the geometric shape is simultaneously duplicated, in a geometry shader, on the first side of the hologram plane and on the second side of the hologram plane.
