ABSTRACT
Using a commercial terrain engine [Englert 2012], we show how to model the complex surface of asteroid (101955) Bennu [Science 1999] with a hybrid approach that combines digital elevation models with static and dynamic displacement. Then we show how to adapt tri-planar material mapping (TRIMAP) to the curvature of planetary bodies, in order to effectively avoid all inherent texturing artefacts.

Using Mesh Shaders for Continuous Level-of-Detail Terrain Rendering
SIGGRAPH '20: ACM SIGGRAPH 2020 TalksUsing a commercial terrain engine [Englert 2012] as an example, we discuss both advantages and disadvantages of the continuous level-of-detail approach [Lindstrom and Pascucci 2001] to terrain-rendering while comparing our implementation with other ...
LOD-Sprite Technique for Accelerated Terrain Rendering
VISUALIZATION '99: Proceedings of the 10th IEEE Visualization 1999 Conference (VIS '99)We present a new rendering technique, termed LOD-sprite rendering, which uses a combination of a level-of-detail (LOD) representation of the scene together with reusing image sprites (previously rendered images). Our primary application is accelerating ...
