Improved Specular Highlights With Adaptive Shading
Gouraud shading and Phong shading are widely used interpolation methods to render a polygon mesh of a curved surface. When an illumination equation has a specular reflection term,...

Interactive multiresolution mesh editing
We describe a multiresolution representation for meshes based on subdivision, which is a natural extension of the existing patch-based surface representations. Combining subdivisi...

Multiperspective panoramas for cel animation
We describe a new approach for simulating apparent camera motion through a 3D environment. The approach is motivated by a traditional technique used in 2D cel animation, in which ...

Creating full view panoramic image mosaics and environment maps
This paper presents a novel approach to creating full view panoramic mosaics from image sequences. Unlike current panoramic stitching methods, which usually require pure horizonta...
