Generalized Displacement Maps
In this paper, we introduce a real-time algorithm to render the rich visual effects of general non-height-field geometric details, known as mesostructure. Our method is based on ...

Bixels: Picture Samples with Sharp Embedded Boundaries
Pixels store a digital image as a grid of point samples that can reconstruct a limited-bandwidth continuous 2-D source image. Although convenient for anti-aliased display, these b...
