Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes, by a computing system, accessing a first and second texture associated with an output position, determining a color-blending operation, determining a first color and a first transparency level based on the first texture, determining a second color and a second transparency level based on the second texture, and identifying a color-blending optimization based on the color-blending operation and a comparison of the colors and transparency levels. The method includes determining an output color and an output transparency level by performing the color-blending operation using the colors and transparency levels. The output color is determined by copying the first or second color or the output transparency level is determined by copying the first or second transparency level without additional calculation. The method includes providing the output color and the output transparency level for display at the output position.
