Localized-hierarchy surface splines (LeSS)
An explicit spline representation of smooth free-form surfaces is combined with a hierarchy of meshes to form the basis of an interactive sculpting environment. The environment of...

GAPS: general and automatic polygonal simplification
We present a new approach for simplifying polygonal objects. Our method is general in that it works on models that contain both non-manifold geometry and surface attributes. It is...

Preprocessing occlusion for real-time selective refinement
Visibility computation and level of detail modeling are two important components of efficient scenerendering algorithms. Both aim to lessen the graphics load by lowering polygon c...

Haptic sculpting of dynamic surfaces
Conventional free-form surface design usually require tedious control-point manipulation and/or painstaking constraint specification via unnatural mouse-based interfaces. This pa...

Increased photorealism for interactive architectural walkthroughs
This paper presents a new method for interactive rendering of globally illuminated static scenes. Global illumination is decomposed into view-independent (diffuse) and view-depend...

MMR: an interactive massive model rendering system using geometric and image-based acceleration
We present a system for rendering very complex 3D models at interactive rates. We select a subset of the model as preferred viewpoints and partition the space into virtual cells. ...
