- Abstract
- A graphics processing system that is operable to perform ray tracing using micromaps is disclosed. A tree representation of a micromap is generated, and when it is desired to determine whether and/or how a ray interacts with a sub-region of a primitive, the tree representation of the micromap is traversed to determine a property value for the sub-region of the primitive.
