We introduce a method for providing lightweight daemons, called simplifiers, that attach themselves to program data. If a data item has a simplifier, the simplifier may be run aut...
Significant improvement to visual quality for real-time 3D graphics requires modeling of complex illumination effects like soft-shadows, reflections, and diffuse lighting intera...
