Smooth GPU Tessellation
نویسنده
چکیده
Models used in real-time graphics are commonly rendered using triangular boundary representations. Triangulation approximates flat surfaces very well, but requires many fine triangles to accurately represent curved surfaces. This project implements two methods for smoothing coarse input meshes using GPU tessellation shaders to obtain smooth surfaces.

State of the Art Report on Real-time Rendering with Hardware Tessellation
For a long time, GPUs have primarily been optimized to render more and more triangles with increasingly flexible shading. However, scene data itself has typically been generated on the CPU and then uploaded to GPU memory. Therefore, widely used techniques that generate geometry at render time on demand for the rendering of smooth and displaced surfaces were not applicable to interactive applica...
متن کاملReal-Time Rendering Techniques with Hardware Tessellation
Graphics hardware has been progressively optimized to render more triangles with increasingly flexible shading. For highly detailed geometry, interactive applications restricted themselves to performing transforms on fixed geometry, since they could not incur the cost required to generate and transfer smooth or displaced geometry to the GPU at render time. As a result of recent advances in grap...
متن کاملReal-Time GPU Silhouette Refinement using Adaptively Blended Bézier Patches
We present an algorithm for detecting and extracting the silhouette edges of a triangle mesh in real time using GPUs (Graphical Processing Units). We also propose a tessellation strategy for visualizing the mesh with smooth silhouettes through a continuous blend between Bézier patches with varying level of detail. Furthermore, we show how our techniques can be integrated with displacement and n...
متن کاملFast GPU-based Adaptive Tessellation with CUDA
Compact surface descriptions like higher-order surfaces are popular representations for both modeling and animation. However, for fast graphics-hardware-assisted rendering, they usually need to be converted to triangle meshes. In this paper, we introduce a new framework for performing on-the-fly crack-free adaptive tessellation of surface primitives completely on the GPU. Utilizing CUDA and its...
متن کاملGPU-based Appearance Preserving Trimmed NURBS Rendering
Trimmed NURBS are the standard surface representation used in CAD/CAM systems and accurate visualization of trimmed NURBS models at interactive frame rates is of great interest for industry. To support modification and/or animation of such surfaces, a GPU-based trimming and tessellation algorithm has been developed recently. First, the NURBS is approximated with a bi-cubic hierarchy of Bézier p...
