New 3D Graphics Rendering Engine Architecture for Direct Tessellation of Spline Surfaces

In current 3D graphics architectures, the bus between the triangle server and the rendering engine GPU is clogged with triangle vertices and their many attributes (normal vectors, colors, texture coordinates). We develop a new 3D graphics architecture using data compression to unclog the bus between the triangle server and the rendering engine. The data compression is achieved by replacing the ...

Visualization of Industrial Structures with Implicit GPU Primitives

We present a method to interactively visualize large industrial models by replacing most triangles with implicit GPU primitives: cylinders, cone and torus slices. After a reverse-engineering process that recovers these primitives from triangle meshes, we encode their implicit parameters in a texture that is sent to the GPU. In rendering time, the implicit primitives are visualized seamlessly wi...

Adaptive Caustic Maps Using Deferred Shading

Caustic maps provide an interactive image-space method to render caustics, the focusing of light via reflection and refraction. Unfortunately, caustic mapping suffers problems similar to shadow mapping: aliasing from poor sampling and map projection as well as temporal incoherency from frame-to-frame sampling variations. To reduce these problems, researchers have suggested methods ranging from ...
