Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for generating unique primitive identifiers. A specified scope and geometry for a scene is received. A primitive identifier is generated for each primitive of a particular type, where each of the primitive identifiers is unique within the specified scope, and where the primitives are generated as the geometry for the 3D graphics scene is processed by a graphics processing unit. Different types may include patches, triangles, and vertices. The specified scope may be one of a frame, region, pixel, or draw call.
