  Using motion to illustrate static 3D shape--kinetic visualization
Lum E., Stompel A., Ma K. IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics 9(2): 115-126, 2003.  Type: Article

This paper discusses a novel visualization technique, kinetic visualization, which was inspired by the observation that the movement and flow of water, flame from a fire, a school of fish, and similar objects result in the perception o...

  Smoothing an overlay grid to minimize linear distortion in texture mapping
Sheffer A., de Sturler E. ACM Transactions on Graphics (TOG) 21(4): 874-890, 2002.  Type: Article

Texture mapping is crucial to high quality computer graphics. To preserve the initial appearance of the texture, a texture mapping procedure has to meet certain requirements. First, the mapping has to be continuous (for example, no fo...

  Soft planar shadows using plateaus
Haines E. Journal of Graphics Tools 6(1): 19-27, 2001.  Type: Article

Generating perceptually more accurate images has been gaining popularity in computer graphics. However, such accuracy still demands expensive algorithms. As a result, some researchers have concentrated on approximation algorithms. This...

  Real-time rendering of 3D clouds
Elinas P., Stuerzlinger W. Journal of Graphics Tools 5(4): 33-45, 2000.  Type: Article

Visual realism is an important factor in creating convincing virtual worlds. For outdoor scenes, realistic rendering of the sky, including clouds, adds greatly to the illusion. Although several techniques are known for rendering clouds...

  Real-time rendering
Möller T., Haines E., A. K. Peters, Ltd., Natick, MA, 1999.  Type: Book (9781568811017)

What if generic cheap PC hardware could transform, light, and render 15 million triangles a second? Would that make the task of programming a real-time application as easy as writing a Visual Basic macro in Excel?...

  Drawing graphs to convey proximity: an incremental arrangement method
Cohen J. ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction 4(3): 197-229, 1997.  Type: Article

Graphs are becoming popular as a means of visualizing order, accessibility, or distance information. This paper is concerned with efficient methods of conveying vertex proximity, that is, of arranging the vertices so their pairwise scr...

  Texture mapping 3D models of real-world scenes
Weinhaus F., Devarajan V. ACM Computing Surveys 29(4): 325-365, 1997.  Type: Article

The authors present a fairly in-depth survey of texture mapping. They review the traditional techniques used in the past ten years in geometric engines and visual simulators. They also cover the different variations that expand on the ...
