Simulating Fire with Texture Splats
We propose the use of textured splats as the basic display primitives for an open surface fire model. The high-detail textures help to achieve a smooth boundary of the fire and ...

The Shock Scaffold for Representing 3D Shape
The usefulness of the 3D Medial Axis (MA) is dependent on both the availability of accurate and stable methods for computing individual MA points and on schemes for deriving the l...

QSplat: a multiresolution point rendering system for large meshes
Advances in 3D scanning technologies have enabled the practical creation of meshes with hundreds of millions of polygons. Traditional algorithms for display, simplification, and ...

Art-based Rendering of Fur, Grass, and Trees
Artists and illustrators can evoke the complexity of fur or vegetation with relatively few well-placed strokes. We present an algorithm that uses strokes to render 3D computer gra...

Model Simplification Using Vertex-Clustering
This paper presents a practical technique to automatically compute approximations of polygonal representations of 3D objects. It is based on a previously developed model simplific...
