Normal meshes
Normal meshes are new fundamental surface descriptions inspired by differential geometry. A normal mesh is a multiresolution mesh where each level can be written as a normal offse...

Face fixer: compressing polygon meshes with properties
Most schemes to compress the topology of a surface mesh have been developed for the lowest common denominator: triangulated meshes. We propose a scheme that handlesthe topology of...

Mesh optimization
We present a method for solving the following problem: Given a set of data points scattered in three dimensions and an initial triangular mesh M0, produce a mesh M, of the same to...

A microfacet-based BRDF generator
A method is presented that takes as an input a 2D microfacet orientation distribution and produces a 4D bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF). This method differ...

Animating explosions
In this paper, we introduce techniques for animating explosions and their effects. The primary effect of an explosion is a disturbance that causes a shock wave to propagate thro...
