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 ...
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 ...
Compiling to a VLIW Fragment Pipeline
(The Eurographics Association, 2001)
The latest generation of graphics hardware supports fully programmable vertex and pixel/fragment operations, but programming this hardware at a low level is difficult and time consuming. To address this problem, we have ...
High-Quality Volume Rendering Using Texture Mapping Hardware
(The Eurographics Association, 1998)
We present a method Jor volume rendering of regular grids which takes advantage of 3D texture mapping hardware currently, available on graphics workstations. Our method products accurate shading for arbitrary and dynamically ...
View-independent Environment Maps
(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 ...
Gouraud Bump Mapping
(The Eurographics Association, 1998)
In this paper a new low cost bump mapping hardware is prcsented. The new hardware approach does not rely on per pixel lighting, but instead uses Gouraud interpolated triangles. The bump mapping effect is applied by blending ...
Multiresolution Rendering With Displacement Mapping
(The Eurographics Association, 1999)
In this paper, we present for the first time an approach for hardware accelerated displacement mapping. The displaced surface is generated from a 2D displacement map by remeshing a coarse triangle mesh according to the ...
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 ...
The F-Buffer: A Rasterization-Order FIFO Buffer for Multi-Pass Rendering
(The Eurographics Association, 2001)
Multi-pass rendering is a common method of virtualizing graphics hardware to overcome limited resources. Most current multi-pass rendering techniques use the RGBA framebuffer to store intermediate results between each pass. ...
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 ...
