This dissertation applies performance analysis to the problem of computing complex three-dimensional images. First, it identifies factors that affect the cost of image synthesis and characterizes the complexity of realistic images. Four categories of performance factors are defined: scene characteristics, viewing specifications, rendering parameters, and the computing environment. This classification provides a framework for discussing image complexity and designing performance experiments. The complexity of several complex images from an actual animation workload is described in detail.
