Interactive Reflections on Curved Objects
Global view-dependent illumination phenomena, in particular reflections, greatly enhance the realism of computer-generated imagery. Current interactive rendering methods do not pr...

Visibility Sorting and Compositing Without Splitting for Image Layer Decompositions
We present an efficient algorithm for visibility sorting a set of moving geometric objects into a sequence of image layers which are composited to produce the final image. Inste...
