Modeling and Rendering of Weathered Stone
Stone is widespread in its use as a building material and artistic medium. One of its most remarkable qualities is that it changes appearance as it interacts with the environment....

Automatic Image Placement to Provide a Guaranteed Frame Rate
We present a preprocessing algorithm and run-time system for rendering 3D geometric models at a guaranteed frame rate. Our approach trades off space for frame rate by using images...

UniCam - 2D gestural camera controls for 3D environments
We present a novel approach to controlling a virtual 3D camera with a 2D mouse or stylus input device that is based on gestural interaction. Our approach to 3D camera manipulation...
