1. A method of authoring 3D (three-dimensional) graphic data, comprising:
- generating a rendering function corresponding to characteristics of an authored object; and
re-authoring the authored object to correspond to one of a stored plurality of rendering functions based on a determination of whether a total number of rendering functions, including the plurality of rendering functions and the generated rendering function, meets a predetermined limit.

Abstract
A method, medium, and system authoring 3D (three-dimensional) graphic data. In the method, a rendering function corresponding to characteristics of an authored object is generated. It is determined whether the total number of rendering functions including the generated rendering function exceeds a predetermined number. The object is re-authored to correspond to one of the total number of rendering functions according to results of the determining. When 3D graphic data is reproduced, the number of rendering functions being used can be limited, and thus, a reduction in rendering performance during the authoring phase can be prevented.

9. A system authoring 3D graphic data, comprising:
-
a rendering function generator to generate a rendering function corresponding to characteristics of an authored object; a determiner to determine whether a total number of rendering functions, including a plurality of stored rendering functions and the generated rendering function, meets a predetermined limit; and an outputter to request a re-authoring of the authored object to correspond to one of the plurality of rendering functions, according to a result of the determiner. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A system authoring 3D graphic data, comprising:
-
a rendering function generator to generate a rendering function corresponding to characteristics of an authored object; a memory to store the generated rendering function; a determiner to determine whether a total number of rendering functions stored in the memory meets a predetermined limit; and an object reviser searching for a rendering function, from among the rendering functions stored in the memory, that is closest to the generated rendering function corresponding to the characteristics of the authored object when the total number of rendering functions stored in the memory is determined to meet the predetermined limit, and revising the characteristics of the authored object to correspond to a corresponding found rendering function resulting from the searching for the rendering function. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
