Capping Openings – The Goal… ::: :: :: Relief Clipping Planes For Real-Time Rendering :: Matthias Trapp :: :: 9 Capping Openings – The Goal… http://www.bmbikes.co.uk/photos/museumphotos/Broken 20R60-6 Crank.jpg Assumption: Input Mesh is SOLID.


Capping – The Process ::: :: :: Relief Clipping Planes For Real-Time Rendering :: Matthias Trapp :: :: 10 Capping – The Process Goals: Convey material / inner structure of the input solid Enable assisted modeling of cap-surface appearance Solution: Polygonal Cap-Surface Directly derived from relief-clipping plane Rendering after the clipping pass


Generating the Cap-Surface ::: :: :: Relief Clipping Planes For Real-Time Rendering :: Matthias Trapp :: :: 11 Generating the Cap-Surface Phase A: Dynamic Mesh Refinement on GPU [Boubekeur05] Perform displacement, shading, texturing,… Phase B: Clip away “outside” parts of the cap-surface


Decision Problem ::: :: :: Relief Clipping Planes For Real-Time Rendering :: Matthias Trapp :: :: 12 Decision Problem Which point P of the cap-surface is inside a solid S ? Solution: Volumetric depth test Needed: Additional data structure Layered Depth Image (LDI) [Shade98] Image-based representation of shape Computed in pre-processing [Everitt01]


Example of Layered Depth Image ::: :: :: Relief Clipping Planes For Real-Time Rendering :: Matthias Trapp :: :: 13 Example of Layered Depth Image


Volumetric Depth Test ::: :: :: Relief Clipping Planes For Real-Time Rendering :: Matthias Trapp :: :: 14 Volumetric Depth Test [Trapp08]


Conclusions ::: :: :: Relief Clipping Planes For Real-Time Rendering :: Matthias Trapp :: :: 15 Conclusions Summary Advanced clipping approach Real-time rendering technique Fully implemented on GPU Drawbacks Needs additional data structure Needs high-tessellated cap-surface Future Work Generalized approach for clipping
