A method for a computer system includes determining first shading results
associated with a geometric object in response to first shading
computations and first shading data associated with the geometric object
and associated with both a first scene and a second scene, determining
second shading results associated with the geometric object in response
to second shading computations and second shading data associated with
the geometric object, and determining first combined shading results
associated with the geometric object in response to the first shading
results and to the second shading results, wherein the first combined
shading results is associated with the second scene, wherein a second
combined shading results is associated with the geometric object, wherein
the second combined shading results is associated with the first scene,
and wherein the second combined shading results is not determined in
response to the second shading results.
