    • Tutorial 1 -Advanced Radiosity:Complex Scenes and Glossy Reflections 

      Stamminger, Marc; Wexler, Daniel; Kresse, Wolfram; Holzschuch, Nicolas; Christensen, Per H. (Eurographics Association, 1999)
      A lot of research towards global illumination has been focussed on the radiosity method. Nevertheless, it is still a rather academic topic which finds very slowly its way into commercial products. The scope of this tutorial ...

    • Multiresolution Modeling: Survey and Future Opportunities 

      Garland, Michael (Eurographics Association, 1999)
      For twenty years, it has been clear that many datasets are excessively complex for applications such as real-time display, and that techniques for controlling the level of detail of models are crucial.More recently, there ...
