A Quadrilateral Rendering Primitive
(The Eurographics Association, 2004)
The only surface primitives that are supported by common graphics hardware are triangles and more complex shapes have to be triangulated before being sent to the rasterizer. Even quadrilaterals, which are frequently used ...
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 ...
Point-driven Generation of Images from a Hierarchical Data Structure
(The Eurographics Association, 1988)
In this paper, a system IS described which renders an image from a hierarchical data structure in a point-driven way. The data structure allows dynamic color mapping and arbitrary affine transformat·ons of objects with ...
Digital Fabrication Technologies for Cultural Heritage (STAR)
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)
Digital Fabrication technologies exploit a variety of basic technologies to create tangible reproductions of 3D digital models. Even though current 3D printing pipelines still suffer of several restrictions, the reproduction ...
Silhouette Maps for Improved Texture Magnification
(The Eurographics Association, 2004)
Texture mapping is a simple way of increasing visual realism without adding geometrical complexity. Because it is a discrete process, it is important to properly filter samples when the sampling rate of the texture differs ...
PixelFlow: The Realization
(The Eurographics Association, 1997)
PixelFlow is an architecture for high-speed, highly realistic image generation, based on the techniques of object-parallelism and image composition. Its initial architecture was described in [MOLN92]. After development by ...
Triangle Scan Conversion using 2D Homogeneous Coordinates
(The Eurographics Association, 1997)
We present a new triangle scan conversion algorithm that works entirely in homogeneous coordinates. By using homogeneous coordinates, the algorithm avoids costly clipping tests which make pipelining or hardware implementations ...
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 ...
IMEM: An Intelligent Memory for Bump- and Reflection-Mapping
(The Eurographics Association, 1998)
Data path simplification in the context of reflection- and bumpmapping hardware opens new solutions in the design of rendering and shading circuits. We are proposing a novel approach to rendering bump- and reflection-mapped ...
