The rendering method includes: a parent model corresponding to a plurality of static components is loaded, the parent model comprising at least two sub-models corresponding to at least two sub-components, and information of each of the at least two sub-models is recorded in a model file of the parent model; a scene global identifier of the at least one sub-model marked as hidden in the parent model is determined, wherein the scene global identifier includes identification information of each of the at least two sub-models in the game scene; and at least one sub-model not marked as hidden of the parent model is rendered in a preset manner.

A virtual reality (VR) system that includes a three-dimensional (3D) point cloud having a plurality of points, a VR viewer having a current position, a graphics processing unit (GPU), and a central processing unit (CPU). The CPU determines a field-of-view (FOV) based at least in part on the current position of the VR viewer, selects, using occlusion culling, a subset of the points based at least in part on the FOV, and provides them to the GPU. The GPU receives the subset of the plurality of points from the CPU and renders an image for display on the VR viewer based at least in part on the received subset of the plurality of points. The selecting a subset of the plurality of points is at a first frame per second (FPS) rate and the rendering is at a second FPS rate that is faster than the first FPS rate.

A processor receives a request to access one or more levels of a partially resident texture (PRT) resource. The levels represent a texture at different levels of detail (LOD) and the request includes normalized coordinates indicating a location in the texture. The processor accesses a texture descriptor that includes dimensions of a first level of the levels and one or more offsets between a reference level and one or more second levels that are associated with one or more residency maps that indicate texels that are resident in the PRT resource. The processor translates the normalized coordinates to texel coordinates in the one or more residency maps based on the offset and accesses, in response to the request, the one or more residency maps based on the texel coordinates to determine whether texture data indicated by the normalized coordinates is resident in the PRT resource.

A point cloud data transmission method according to embodiments may comprise the steps of: acquiring point cloud data; encoding geometry information of the point cloud data; encoding attribute information of the point cloud data on the basis of the geometry information; and transmitting a bitstream including the encoded geometry information, the encoded attribute information, and signaling information.
