Abstract
Systems and methods can be used to generate data to be stored in a temporal voxel buffer. A renderer can receive at least one input primitive and a voxel grid. A sampling lattice can be generated based on the at least one input primitive and the sampling lattice can be shaded. Each voxel of the voxel grid can be sampled at a plurality of sample times and a plurality of sample positions within the voxel. A voxel buffer is generated for the voxel grid. The voxel buffer stores a voxel array in association with each voxel of the voxel grid based on the sampling.
