Triangle Meshes • Interactive animation • Adaptive rendering • Compact storage • Transmission Dataset provided by Cyberware
mesh simplification Scalable Algorithms • Multiresolution now well established subdivision surfaces
Subdivision Surfaces • Smooth (C1) with arbitrary topology • No stitching of patches • Easy Implementation • Simple subdivision rules • Level-of-detail rendering • Uniform or adaptive subdivision
Displacement Mapping • Scalar/Vector displacement • Cook 84 • RenderMan • Mesh approximation • Krishnamurthy-Levoy 96, … • Hardware implementation • Gumhold-Hüttner 99, …
Our Approach DSS = Smooth Domain Scalar Disp Field Displaced Subdivision surface Control mesh Domain Surface
Representation Overview Piecewise-regular mesh of scalar displacement sampling pattern Control mesh
Advantages of DSS • Intrinsic parameterization • Governed by a subdivision surface • No storage necessary • Significant computation efficiency • Capture detail as scalar displacement • Unified representation • Same sampling pattern and subdivision rules for geometry and scalar displacement field
Analytic Properties • C1 continuous everywhere except at extraordinary vertices • Surface normals are easy to evaluate
Conversion Algorithm • Control mesh creation • Control mesh optimization • Scalar displacement computation • Attribute resampling
