    • Gouraud Bump Mapping 

      Ernst, I.; Rüsseler, H.; Schulz, H.; Wittig, 0. (The Eurographics Association, 1998)
      In this paper a new low cost bump mapping hardware is prcsented. The new hardware approach does not rely on per pixel lighting, but instead uses Gouraud interpolated triangles. The bump mapping effect is applied by blending ...

    • High-Quality Volume Rendering Using Texture Mapping Hardware 

      Dachille, Frank; Kreeger, Kevin; Chen, Baoquan; Bitter, Ingmar; Kaufman, Arie (The Eurographics Association, 1998)
      We present a method Jor volume rendering of regular grids which takes advantage of 3D texture mapping hardware currently, available on graphics workstations. Our method products accurate shading for arbitrary and dynamically ...

    • IMEM: An Intelligent Memory for Bump- and Reflection-Mapping 

      Kugler, Anders (The Eurographics Association, 1998)
      Data path simplification in the context of reflection- and bumpmapping hardware opens new solutions in the design of rendering and shading circuits. We are proposing a novel approach to rendering bump- and reflection-mapped ...

    • Neon: A Single-Chip 3D Workstation Graphics Accelerator 

      McCormack, Joel; McNamara, Robert; Gianos, Christopher; Seiler, Larry; Jouppi, Norman P.; Correll, Ken (The Eurographics Association, 1998)
      High-performance 3D graphics accelerators traditionally require multiple chips on multiple boards, including geometry, rasterizing, pixel processing, and texture mapping chips. These designs are often scalable: they can ...

    • Quadratic Bezier Triangles As Drawing Primitives 

      Bruijns, J. (The Eurographics Association, 1998)
      We propose to use quadratic Bezier triangles as additional drawing primitives: quadratic Bezier triangles require much less model data for faithful representation of curved surfaces than planar triangles. Therefore, they ...

    • View-independent Environment Maps 

      Heidrich, Wolfgang; Seidel, Hans-Peter (The Eurographics Association, 1998)
      Environment maps are widely used for approximating reflections in hardware-accelerated rendering applications. Unfortunately, the parameterizations for environment maps used in today s graphics hardware severely undersample ...
