GENERATING A RENDERED IMAGE OF A THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT

Abstract

Data representing a 3D object to be rendered is obtained, the data comprising: a mesh structure defining 3D co-ordinates for each of a plurality of object vertices; and a feature vector encoding visual characteristics for at least one object surface defined by the plurality of object vertices. Motion information indicative of motion of the object in a scene is received. Based on the motion information, the mesh structure is deformed by adjusting the co-ordinates for one or more of the plurality of object vertices. The deformed mesh structure is processed using a graphics pipeline comprising a vertex shader and a fragment shader to generate a rendered image of the scene. The fragment shader comprises an artificial neural network trained to output pixel colour values for the at least one object surface on the basis of the visual characteristics encoded in the feature vector.
