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 ...
Memory Access Patterns of Occlusion-Compatible 3D Image Warping
(The Eurographics Association, 1997)
McMillan and Bishop s 3D image warp can be efficiently implemented by exploiting the coherency of its memory accesses. We analyze this coherency, and present algorithms that take advantage of it. These algorithms traverse ...
Optimal Depth Buffer for Low-Cost Graphics Hardware
(The Eurographics Association, 1999)
3D applications using hardware depth buffers for visibility testing are confronted with multiple choices of buffer types, sizes and formats. Some of the options are not exposed through 3D API or may be used by the driver ...
Hybrid Volume and Polygon Rendering with Cube Hardware
(The Eurographics Association, 1999)
We present two methods which connect today s polygon graphics hardware accelerators to Cube-5 volume rendering hardware, the successor to Cube4 The proposed methods allow mixing of both opaque and translucent polygons with ...
Texture Shaders
(The Eurographics Association, 1999)
Extensions to the texture-mapping support of the abstract graphics hardware pipeline and the OpenGL API are proposed to better support programmable shading, with a unified interface, on a variety of future graphics accelerator ...
Parallel Texture Caching
(The Eurographics Association, 1999)
The creation of high-quality images requires new functionality and higher performance in real-time graphics architectures. In terms of functionality, texture mapping has become an integral component of graphics systems, ...
