Abstract
A method, system, and computer-readable storage medium are disclosed for rendering a scene with render targets having instances of cyclic dependency. A dependency graph for a plurality of render targets in a scene may be determined automatically. A plurality of strongly connected components in the dependency graph may be determined automatically. Each of the plurality of strongly connected components may comprise one or more of the plurality of render targets. A topological order for the plurality of strongly connected components may be determined automatically. The scene may be rendered based on the topological order using the plurality of render targets.
