This paper outlines a method to dynamically replace portals with textures in a cell-partitioned model. The rendering complexity is reduced to the geometry of the current cell thus...
We are investigating methods to accelerate rendering of architectural walkthroughs. In this paper, we improve upon a cells and portals framework by using images to replace geometr...

This paper presents efficient image-based rendering techniques used in the context of an architectural walkthrough system. Portals (doors and windows) are rendered by warping laye...

This paper presents a new method for interactive rendering of globally illuminated static scenes. Global illumination is decomposed into view-independent (diffuse) and view-depend...

The number of polygons comprising interesting architectural models is many more than can be rendered at interactive frame rates. However, due to occlusion by opaque surfaces (e.g....
