ABSTRACT:
The present invention determines that an object is moving within a scene. At run time, the number of primitives used to represent the moving object is reduced. The degree of reduction can be related to the amount of motion, i.e. speed, of the moving object. The moving object is then rendered based on the reduced number of primitives saving time and memory bandwidth.
