    • TRIANGLECASTER Extensions To 3BTexturing Units For Accelerated Volume Rendering 

      Knittel, Gunter (The Eurographics Association, 1999)
      We discuss hardware extensions to 3D-texturing units, which are very small but nevertheless remove some substantial performance limits typically found when using a 3D-texturing unit for volume rendering. The underlying ...

    • View-independent Environment Maps 

      Heidrich, Wolfgang; Seidel, Hans-Peter (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 ...

    • A Virtual Memory System Organization for Bit-Mapped Graphics Displays 

      Barkans, Anthony C. (The Eurographics Association, 1989)
      Described is a display sub-system, designed for support of a very high speed rendering engine. It provides high-performance graphics to an enVironment that consists of a hierarchy of resizable windows. The concept of virtual ...

    • VIZARD - Visualization Accelerator for Realtime Display 

      Knittel, Günter; Straßer, Wolfgang (The Eurographics Association, 1997)
      Volume rendering has traditionally been an application for supercomputers, workstation networks or expensive special-purpose hardware. In contrast, this report shows how far we have reached using the other extreme: the ...

    • Z3: An Economical Hardware Technique for High-Quality Antialiasing and Transparency 

      Jouppi, Norman P.; Chang, Chun-Fa (The Eurographics Association, 1999)
      In this paper we present an algorithm for low-cost hardware antialiasing and transparency. This technique keeps a central Z value along with compact floating-point Z gradients in the X and Y dimensions for each fragment ...
