Quasi-Linear Depth Buffers With Variable Resolution
(The Eurographics Association, 2001)
In this paper we present new class of variable-resolution depth buffers, providing a flexible trade-off between depth precision in the distant areas of the view volume and performance. These depth buffers can be implemented ...
Watertight Tessellation using Forward Differencing
(The Eurographics Association, 2001)
In this paper we describe an algorithm and hardware for the tessellation of polynomial surfaces. While conventional forward difference-based tessellation is subject to round off error and cracking, our algorithm produces ...
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 ...
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 ...
