A Hierarchical Shadow Volume Algorithm
(The Eurographics Association, 2004)
The shadow volume algorithm is a popular technique for real-time shadow generation using graphics hardware. Its major disadvantage is that it is inherently fillrate-limited, as the performance is inversely proportional to ...
Tile-Based Texture Mapping on Graphics Hardware
(The Eurographics Association, 2004)
Texture mapping has been a fundamental feature for commodity graphics hardware. However, a key challenge for texture mapping is how to store and manage large textures on graphics processors. In this paper, we present a ...
Hardware-based Simulation and Collision Detection for Large Particle Systems
(The Eurographics Association, 2004)
Particle systems have long been recognized as an essential building block for detail-rich and lively visual environments. Current implementations can handle up to 10,000 particles in real-time simulations and are mostly ...
UberFlow: A GPU-Based Particle Engine
(The Eurographics Association, 2004)
We present a system for real-time animation and rendering of large particle sets using GPU computation and memory objects in OpenGL. Memory objects can be used both as containers for geometry data stored on the graphics ...
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 ...
