Yes, I am trying to align my mental model with yours. I read your blog post "A sort-middle architecture for 2D graphics" & "2D Graphics on Modern GPU", but still unable to grasp the fundamental guiding principles. It's not clear what are the commands that constitute each tile and whatever they are, what is the fundamental reasion which leads to the performance being better than joining the polylines of a curve to get a triangle list and having those triangle rasterized by the GPU. Any blog/article on the fundamental principles, that you would recomend
Can you expound the principle of tiling mentioned in your algorithm a bit more ? The conventional mechanism is to use de-Casteljau to divide a bezier curve into triangles and then rasterize these triangles using GPU. If the curve is required to be scaled, the triangularization/tesselation is done again How is the algorithm presented in the link different ? Somehow the concept of tiling seems to imply that rasterization of the curve is done in the CPU itself. What am I missing ?
