ABSTRACT
We introduce a new tessellation algorithm for production rendering of fractured subdivision surfaces that produces higher quality results with less distortion than previous approaches. Our tessellator is provided with a fractured subdivision control mesh along with the corresponding unfractured mesh. We use the unfractured mesh to evaluate limit positions of the fractured mesh vertices before tessellation, and we apply displacements at this time. During tessellation, we iteratively split edges, evaluating displaced limit positions at added points. Additionally, we measure deformations that were performed during the fracture process and apply these during tessellation to allow effects like animated crack spreading. Our approach produces seamless results with no distortion of the unfractured surface, and enables a more efficient fracture pipeline.

Parallel view-dependent tessellation of Catmull-Clark subdivision surfaces
HPG '09: Proceedings of the Conference on High Performance Graphics 2009We present a strategy for performing view-adaptive, crack-free tessellation of Catmull-Clark subdivision surfaces entirely on programmable graphics hardware. Our scheme extends the concept of breadth-first subdivision, which up to this point has only ...
Point-normal subdivision curves and surfaces
AbstractThis paper proposes to generalize linear subdivision schemes to nonlinear subdivision schemes for curve and surface modeling by refining vertex positions together with refinement of unit control normals at the vertices. For each round ...

Synthesizing Subdivision Meshes Using Real Time Tessellation
PACIFIC_GRAPHICS '10: Proceedings of the 2010 18th Pacific Conference on Computer Graphics and ApplicationsWe propose a new GPU method for synthesizing subdivision meshes with exact adaptive geometry in real time. Our GPU kernel builds upon precomputed tables of basis functions for subdivision surfaces and is therefore supporting all subdivision schemes, ...
