This paper reviews the latest developments of displacement mapping algorithms
implemented on the vertex, geometry, and fragment shaders of graphics cards …

The third edition of this classic tutorial and reference on procedural texturing and modeling
is thoroughly updated to meet the needs of today's 3D graphics professionals and students …

We present a new algorithm for appearance-preserving simplification. Not only does it
generate a low-polygon-count approximation of a model, but it also preserves the …

In this paper we describe the design, programming interface, and implementation of a very
efficient user-programmable vertex engine. The vertex engine of NVIDIA's GeForce3 GPU …

OpenGL and its extensions provide access to advanced per-pixel operations available in the
rasterization stage and in the frame buffer hardware of modern graphics workstations. With …

In this paper we introduce a new surface representing, the displaced subdivision surface. It
represents a detailed surface model as a scalar-valued displacement over a smooth domain …

This paper presents a technique for mapping relief textures onto arbitrary polygonal models
in real time. In this approach, the mapping of the relief data is done in tangent space. As a …

With fast 3D graphics becoming more and more available even on low end platforms, the
focus in hardware-accelerated rendering is beginning to shift towards higher quality …

This paper describes the construction of second generation bandelet bases and their
application to 3D geometry compression. This new coding scheme is orthogonal and the …
