Bus traffic between the graphics subsystem and memory can become a bottleneck when rendering geometrically complex meshes. In this paper, we investigate the use of vertex caching...
Artists and illustrators can evoke the complexity of fur or vegetation with relatively few well-placed strokes. We present an algorithm that uses strokes to render 3D computer gra...

We show that it is feasible to perform interactive isosurfacing of very large rectilinear datasets with brute-force ray tracing on a conventional (distributed) shared-memory multi...

As virtual worlds demand ever more realistic 3D models, attention is being focussed on systems that can acquire graphical models from real objects. This paper describes a system wh...

This paper presents a practical technique to automatically compute approximations of polygonal representations of 3D objects. It is based on a previously developed model simplific...
