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 ...
High-Quality Pre-lntegrated Volume Rendering
(The Eurographics Association, 2001)
We introduce a novel texture-based volume rendering approach that achieves the image quality of the best post-shading approaches with far less slices. It is suitable for new flexible consumer graphics hardware and provides ...
Perlin Noise Pixel Shaders
(The Eurographics Association, 2001)
While working on a method for supporting real-time procedural solid texturing, we developed a general purpose multipass pixel shader to generate the Perlin noise function. We implemented this algorithm on SGI workstations ...
Adaptive Texture Maps
(The Eurographics Association, 2002)
We introduce several new variants of hardware-based adaptive texture maps and present applications in two, three, and four dimensions. In particular, we discuss representations of images and volumes with locally adaptive ...
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 ...
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 ...
