ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for expeditiously rendering realistic bumpy self-shadowed textured computer graphics is provide. Illuminated texture images of an object are obtained and stored in a data base as texture maps. These illuminated texture images are superimposed on top of each other and blended according to their weighted illumination contributions from the light sources to create a blended texture map. This blended texture map is then mapped to the desired surface of the geometric object.
