ABSTRACT:
A computer graphics apparatus connects a texture coordinate generator with fragment generators via a command bus. The generator is connected to a texture data bus through a texture memory cluster which comprises an address generator connected to a texture coordinate bus, a filter, and eight memories. In addition, the generator is connected to the texture data bus through a plurality of texture memory clusters. The texture data bus is connected to a plurality of drawing processors to which a plurality of frame memories are connected in correspondence. This configuration performs texture mapping through effective utilization of the texture memory clusters.
