ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for rendering a two dimensional (2D) patch associated with an object to achieve a smooth shading across the object where the 2D patch defines a complex gradient including at least one foldover edge. The method includes subdividing the patch until each subpatch includes no more than one foldover edge, grouping the subpatches into regions divided by a foldover edge, defining a ordering for displaying the regions and rendering the regions in order.
