Abstract
A method of operating a graphics processor to process sets of geometry to generate an output. Each set of geometry is associated with lower level geometry including vertex data to be used when rendering the geometry as well a separate higher level representation of the geometry. The higher level representations of the geometry can be obtained by the graphics processor independently of the other, lower level geometry and used to determine which sets of geometry should be processed for which regions of the output. Once this determination is made, the regions can be rendered by obtaining and processing the lower level geometry accordingly.
