چکیده
In this paper, we designed 3D graphics hardware with rasterizer having texture and slim-shader for the efficient 3D graphics accelerator. The rasterizer consists of vertical shader and triangle set-up with AAL slim-shader. We developed all modules (vertex shader, pixel shader, slim shader, clipping engine, triangle setup engine and raster operator) of 3D pipeline on FPGA using RTL design. It is designed to support the OpenGL ES 2.0 and Shader model 3.0. This paper also gives a brief description about generic graphics pipeline and OpenGL pipeline. Keywords3D Graphics, OpenGL, 3D pipeline, AAL, FPGA, Texturing, Shading, Rasterization.

Scalable Rasterizer Unit
Modeling the light-surface interaction in real time 3D applications becomes more and more complex, as users require more lifelike images. Segmented screen rendering offers a viable solution to minimize the unnecessary work done in traditional rendering architectures. However, increasing the efficiency of the rendering pipeline also increases the required hardware resources for the 3D rendering ...

متن کاملAnalytic Rasterization of Curves with Polynomial Filters
We present a method of analytically rasterizing shapes that have curved boundaries and linear color gradients using piecewise polynomial prefilters. By transforming the convolution of filters with the image from an integral over area into a boundary integral, we find closed-form expressions for rasterizing shapes. We show that a polynomial expression can be used to rasterize any combination of ...
متن کاملOn the computation of the Circle Hough Transform by a GPU rasterizer
This paper presents an alternative for a fast computation of the Hough transform by taking advantage of commodity graphics processors that provide a unique combination of low cost and high performance platforms for this sort of algorithms. Optimizations focus on the features of a GPU rasterizer to evaluate, in hardware, the entire spectrum of votes for circle candidates from a small number of k...
متن کاملThe Setup for Triangle Rasterization
Graphics performance is increased through the development of various hardware-supported graphics architectures. The majority of these architectures include a rasterizer to which the 3D vertex coordinates in image space and associated color values are sent. For rasterization it is common to use triangles or triangle strips as basic drawing primitives. The rasterizer interpolates the depth and co...
