1. A method for processing three dimensional (3D) graphics data, the method comprising:

  • compressing, using video acceleration hardware of a graphics processing unit (GPU), 3D graphics data as one or more formatted video frames, the 3D graphics data being data able to be processed by a graphics rendering engine of the GPU wherein the 3D graphics data is compressed as video frames that are not dependent on each other for rendering;

    storing association information for 3D objects defined by the 3D graphics data with corresponding video frames comprising the compressed 3D graphics data formatted as video frames for forming at least one video file including the 3D objects and the corresponding video frames comprising the compressed 3D graphics data,selectively caching of the compressed 3D graphics data on the GPU by updating one or more cache tables with information indicating the association between 3D objects defined by the cached compressed 3D graphics data and one or more video frames comprising the cached compressed 3D graphics data.
