Z3: An Economical Hardware Technique for High-Quality Antialiasing and Transparency
(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 ...
Hybrid Volume and Polygon Rendering with Cube Hardware
(The Eurographics Association, 1999)
We present two methods which connect today s polygon graphics hardware accelerators to Cube-5 volume rendering hardware, the successor to Cube4 The proposed methods allow mixing of both opaque and translucent polygons with ...
TRIANGLECASTER Extensions To 3BTexturing Units For Accelerated Volume Rendering
(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 ...
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 ...
