Abstract
Examples are disclosed that relate to culling of polygons for efficient rendering of a high-density polygon mesh using one or more compute shaders. Examples include monoscopic and stereoscopic rendering, foveated and non-foveated rendering, and selectively utilizing one or more computer shaders to rasterize very small triangles instead of using a regular rendering pipeline for increased performance.
