ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a system for rendering an image of an object having a curved surface. The system includes a component for determining an integer M number of attributes relating to rendering the image and a component for pre-computing an integer N number of attributes relating to rendering the image. N is less than or equal to M and the N number of attributes are pre-computable.
