    Mix‐Max: A Content‐Aware Operator for Real‐Time Texture Transitions
    (© 2024 Eurographics ‐ The European Association for Computer Graphics and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2024) Fournier, Romain; Sauvage, Basile; Alliez, Pierre; Wimmer, Michael
    Mixing textures is a basic and ubiquitous operation in data‐driven algorithms for real‐time texture generation and rendering. It is usually performed either by linear blending, or by cutting. We propose a new mixing operator which encompasses and extends both, creating more complex transitions that adapt to the texture's contents. Our mixing operator takes as input two or more textures along with two or more priority maps, which encode how the texture patterns should interact. The resulting mixed texture is defined pixel‐wise by selecting the maximum of both priorities. We show that it integrates smoothly into two widespread applications: transition between two different textures, and texture synthesis that mixes pieces of the same texture. We provide constant‐time and parallel evaluation of the resulting mix over square footprints of MIP‐maps, making our operator suitable for real‐time rendering. We also develop a micro‐priority model, inspired by micro‐geometry models in rendering, which represents sub‐pixel priorities by a statistical distribution, and which allows for tuning between sharp cuts and smooth blend.

    Htex: Per-Halfedge Texturing for Arbitrary Mesh Topologies
    (ACM Association for Computing Machinery, 2022) Barbier, Wilhem; Dupuy, Jonathan; Josef Spjut; Marc Stamminger; Victor Zordan
    We introduce per-halfedge texturing (Htex) a GPU-friendly method for texturing arbitrary polygon-meshes without an explicit parameterization. Htex builds upon the insight that halfedges encode an intrinsic triangulation for polygon meshes, where each halfedge spans a unique triangle with direct adjacency information. Rather than storing a separate texture per face of the input mesh as is done by previous parameterization-free texturing methods, Htex stores a square texture for each halfedge and its twin.We show that this simple change from face to halfedge induces two important properties for high performance parameterization-free texturing. First, Htex natively supports arbitrary polygons without requiring dedicated code for, e.g, non-quad faces. Second, Htex leads to a straightforward and efficient GPU implementation that uses only three texture-fetches per halfedge to produce continuous texturing across the entire mesh. We demonstrate the effectiveness of Htex by rendering production assets in real time.
