Antialiased Parameterized Solid Texturing Simplified for Consumer- Level Hardware Implementation
(The Eurographics Association, 1999)
Procedural solid texturing was introduced fourteen years ago, but has yet to find its way into consumer level graphics hardware for teal-time operation. To this end, a new model is introduced that yields a parameterized ...
Interactive Rendering of Atmospheric Scattering Effects Using Graphics Hardware
(The Eurographics Association, 2002)
To create realistic images using computer graphics, an important element to consider is atmospheric scattering, that is, the phenomenon by which light is scattered by small particles in the air. This effect is the cause ...
Compiling to a VLIW Fragment Pipeline
(The Eurographics Association, 2001)
The latest generation of graphics hardware supports fully programmable vertex and pixel/fragment operations, but programming this hardware at a low level is difficult and time consuming. To address this problem, we have ...
View-independent Environment Maps
(The Eurographics Association, 1998)
Environment maps are widely used for approximating reflections in hardware-accelerated rendering applications. Unfortunately, the parameterizations for environment maps used in today s graphics hardware severely undersample ...
Gouraud Bump Mapping
(The Eurographics Association, 1998)
In this paper a new low cost bump mapping hardware is prcsented. The new hardware approach does not rely on per pixel lighting, but instead uses Gouraud interpolated triangles. The bump mapping effect is applied by blending ...
The F-Buffer: A Rasterization-Order FIFO Buffer for Multi-Pass Rendering
(The Eurographics Association, 2001)
Multi-pass rendering is a common method of virtualizing graphics hardware to overcome limited resources. Most current multi-pass rendering techniques use the RGBA framebuffer to store intermediate results between each pass. ...
Real-Time Bump Map Synthesis
(The Eurographics Association, 2001)
In this paper we present a method that automatically synthesizes bump maps at arbitrary levels of detail in real-time. The only input data we require is a normal density function; the bump map is generated according to ...
Neon: A Single-Chip 3D Workstation Graphics Accelerator
(The Eurographics Association, 1998)
High-performance 3D graphics accelerators traditionally require multiple chips on multiple boards, including geometry, rasterizing, pixel processing, and texture mapping chips. These designs are often scalable: they can ...
