Abstract

See full text

A system and method is provided for efficiently accomplishing texture transformation from an initial state to a final state. Only an initial and a final texture, and the number of desired intermediate textures are transmitted to a local computer system from a remote computer system. A control channel bears information of the desired number of intermediate textures and is used for controlling which pixels are to be changed and how fast they are changed. In one example, a portion of the initial texture is changed to its final texture in each intermediate texture. In another example, the colors of the initial texture change gradually into the final texture by changing the values of the color components of each pixel in each intermediate texture by a predetermined step value.
