Three dimensional scenes are typically modeled using a single, fixed resolution model of
each geometric object. Renderings of such a model are often either slow or crude, however …

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

In this work, we investigate the visual appearance of real-world surfaces and the
dependence of appearance on the geometry of imaging conditions. We discuss a new …

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 …

This paper proposes several techniques that enable to display high dynamic range pictures
(created by a global illumination rendering program, for instance) on a low dynamic range …

The world is full of materials with interesting small-scale structure: a green pasture
consisting of millions of individual blades of grass, a scratched and partially rusted metallic …

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 …

We present a signal-processing framework for light transport. We study the frequency
content of radiance and how it is altered by phenomena such as shading, occlusion, and …

Computer graphics systems are capable of generating stunningly realistic images of objects
that have never physically existed. In order for computers to create these accurately detailed …

Significant visual effects arise from surface mesostructure, such as fine-scale shadowing,
occlusion and silhouettes. To efficiently render its detailed appearance, we introduce a …
