Original Abstract Submitted
Gradient mesh generation and rendering techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a gradient mesh processing system leverages a vertex buffer and an index buffer. The vertex buffer is used to define vertexes and color values of respective patches in the geometry. The index buffer is then used to define which of the vertexes and corresponding color values are to be used to generate a respective patch. As a result, two or more vertexes are definable in the vertex buffer that share a location within the geometry but have different color values. The index buffer is therefore usable to select different collections of vertices from the vertex buffer to define a respective patch.
