First, different realizations using span-shading hardware are discussed. Their drawbacks then lead to the design of a triangle-shader as an ASIC. This chip, together with a signal processor for the geometry computations, will provide an effective and low-cost graphics subsystem for the PC environment.enASIC-DesignFloating Print AcceleratorGourand ShadingGraphics Cardgraphics hardwarePC-Environmentperformance analysisSpan Shadingtriangle shadingtriangle shading ChipZ-buffering006conference paper
