Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer readable media to data drive a render graph are described. A render graph system defines one or more nodes for a render graph and one or more render targets associated with the nodes. The nodes includes one or more functions to define and resolve target handles for identifying render targets. The render graph system defines one or more connections between the nodes and render targets. The connection between the nodes and render targets form the render graph. The render graph system stores the render graph as a data file and converts, with a render graphics API, the data file into a render graph data object. The render graph system performs a frame setup phase the setups the render graph for a frame based on the render graph data object.
