Texture Mapping as a Fundamental Drawing Primitive - http://www.graficaobscura.com/texmap/
Article by Paul Haeberli and Mark Segal. Survey of applications of texture mapping including simple texture mapping, projective textures, and image warping; description of texture mapping techniques for drawing anti-aliased lines, air-brushes, and anti-aliased text; and show of how texture mapping may be used as a fundamental graphics primitive for volume rendering, environment mapping, color interpolation, and contouring. |

Levels of Detail and Polygonal Simplification - http://www.acm.org/crossroads/xrds3-4/levdet.html
"This paper covers the techniques of Polygonal Simplification in order to produce Levels of Detail (LODs). The problem of creating LODs is a complex one: how can simpler versions of a model be created? How can the approximation error be measured? How can the visual degradation be estimated? Can all this be done automatically? After exposing the basic aims and principles of polygonal simplification, we compare recent algorithms and state their various qualities and weaknesses. " Published in Crossroads, the ACM student magazine. |
