画像生成部120は、処理部100で行われる種々の処理の結果に基づいて描画処理を行い、これにより画像を生成し、表示部190に出力する。
The image generation unit 120 performs drawing processing based on the results of various processes performed by the processing unit 100, thereby generating an image and outputting it to the display unit 190.
いわゆる3次元画像を生成する場合には、まずオブジェクトの各頂点の頂点データ(頂点の位置座標、テクスチャ座標、色データ、法線ベクトル或いはα値等)を含むオブジェクトデータ(モデルデータ)が入力され、入力されたオブジェクトデータに含まれる頂点データに基づいて、頂点処理(頂点シェーダによるシェーディング)が行われる。なお頂点処理を行うに際して、必要に応じてポリゴンを再分割するための頂点生成処理(テッセレーション、曲面分割、ポリゴン分割)を行うようにしてもよい。
When generating a so-called three-dimensional image, first, object data (model data) including vertex data (vertex position coordinates, texture coordinates, color data, normal vector, α value, etc.) of each vertex of the object is input. Based on the vertex data included in the input object data, vertex processing (shading by a vertex shader) is performed. When performing the vertex processing, vertex generation processing (tessellation, curved surface division, polygon division) for re-dividing the polygon may be performed as necessary.
頂点処理では、頂点処理プログラム(頂点シェーダプログラム、第1のシェーダプログラム)に従って、頂点の移動処理や、座標変換、例えばワールド座標変換、視野変換(カメラ座標変換)、クリッピング処理、射影変換(透視変換、投影変換)、ビューポート変換(スクリーン座標変換)、光源計算等のジオメトリ処理が行われ、その処理結果に基づいて、オブジェクトを構成する頂点群について与えられた頂点データを変更(更新、調整)する。ジオメトリ処理後のオブジェクトデータ(オブジェクトの頂点の位置座標、テクスチャ座標、色データ(輝度データ)、法線ベクトル、或いはα値等)は、記憶部170に保存される。
In the vertex processing, according to the vertex processing program (vertex shader program, first shader program), vertex movement processing, coordinate transformation, for example, world coordinate transformation, visual field transformation (camera coordinate transformation), clipping processing, projective transformation (perspective transformation) , Projection conversion), viewport conversion (screen coordinate conversion), light source calculation, and other geometric processing are performed, and based on the processing results, the vertex data given to the vertex group constituting the object is changed (updated, adjusted). To do. Object data after geometry processing (position coordinates of object vertices, texture coordinates, color data (luminance data), normal vector, α value, etc.) is stored in the storage unit 170.
そして、頂点処理後の頂点データに基づいてラスタライズ(走査変換)が行われ、ポリゴン(プリミティブ)の面とピクセルとが対応づけられる。そしてラスタライズに続いて、画像を構成するピクセル(表示画面を構成するフラグメント)を描画するピクセル処理(ピクセルシェーダによるシェーディング、フラグメント処理)が行われる。
Then, rasterization (scan conversion) is performed based on the vertex data after the vertex processing, and the surface of the polygon (primitive) is associated with the pixel. Subsequent to rasterization, pixel processing (shading or fragment processing by a pixel shader) for drawing pixels (fragments forming a display screen) constituting an image is performed.
ピクセル処理では、ピクセル処理プログラム(ピクセルシェーダプログラム、第2のシェーダプログラム)に従って、テクスチャの読出し(テクスチャマッピング)、色データの設定/変更、半透明合成、アンチエイリアス等の各種処理を行って、画像を構成するピクセルの最終的な描画色を決定し、透視変換されたオブジェクトの描画色を描画バッファ174(ピクセル単位で画像情報を記憶できるバッファ。VRAM)に出力(描画)する。すなわち、ピクセル処理では、画像情報(色、法線、輝度、α値等)をピクセル単位で設定あるいは変更するパーピクセル処理を行う。これにより、オブジェクト空間内において仮想カメラ(所与の視点)から見える画像が生成される。また。画像生成部120は、オブジェクトを描画する際に、テクスチャマッピング、隠面消去処理、αブレンディング等を行う。
In the pixel processing, according to the pixel processing program (pixel shader program, second shader program), various processes such as texture reading (texture mapping), color data setting / changing, translucent composition, anti-aliasing, etc. are performed. The final drawing color of the constituent pixels is determined, and the drawing color of the perspective-transformed object is output (drawn) to a drawing buffer 174 (a buffer capable of storing image information in units of pixels; VRAM). That is, in pixel processing, per-pixel processing for setting or changing image information (color, normal, luminance, α value, etc.) in units of pixels is performed.
