New Anti-Aliasing and Depth of Field Techniques for Games Graphics
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe software techniques that will enable Open GL capable graphics cards to implement antialiasing and depth of field effects in software. The methods allow any hardware facilities that are available on the graphics card to be used to improve performance but do not require hardware support in order to work.

A Review of 3_D Accelerator Technology for Games
In this paper we attempt to review the current technology of 3 -D accelerators for animating graphics used in games and visual simulation systems, together with associated techniques and software architectures. Topics covered include OpenGl, DirectX, anti-aliasing, motion blur and depth of field. A summary of work in progress is give in the conclusions section.
متن کاملMulti-Resolution Point-Sample Raytracing
We propose a new strategy for raytracing complex scenes without aliasing artifacts. The algorithm intersects anisotropic ray cones with prefiltered surface sample points from a multi-resolution point hierarchy. The algorithm can be extended to capture effects of distributed raytracing [7] such as blurry reflections, depth of field, or soft shadows. In contrast to former anti-aliasing techniques...
متن کاملStrictly Deterministic Sampling Methods in Computer Graphics
We introduce a strictly deterministic, meaning non-random, rendering method, which performs superior to state of the art Monte Carlo techniques. Its simple and elegant implementation on parallel computer architectures is capable of simulating anti-aliasing, motion blur, depth of field, area light sources, glossy reflection and transmission, participating media, and global illumination. We provi...
متن کاملAnti-Aliasing Issues in Image Composition
This paper describes a new parallel architecture for perfonning high-speed raster graphics. This architecture relies on an extension of the Z-buffer algorithm called Composition, due to Duff. Duff's algorithm proves to be too complex for our implementation technology, so modifications of Duff's algorithm are introduced and evaluated experimentally. The two major issues addressed are anti-aliasi...
متن کاملRevectorization-Based Shadow Mapping
Real-time rendering of high-quality, anti-aliased shadows is a challenging problem in shadow mapping. Filtering the shadow map reduces aliasing, but artifacts are still visible for low-resolution shadow maps or small kernel sizes. Moreover, the existing techniques suffer from light leaking artifacts. Shadow silhouette recovery reduces perspective aliasing at the cost of large memory footprint a...
