Subdivision Surfaces for Character Animation

William Leeson (Trinity College, Dublin) Game Programming Gems 3, 2002.

Abstract: This article introduces subdivision surfaces as a means of improving the appearance of game characters. First, we will present the different schemes available, focusing on two implementations of subdivision surfaces. Then, we will explore a number of optimization methods based on culling and preprocessing.

Curvature Simulation Using Normal Maps

Oscar Blasco (Aside Software) Game Programming Gems 3, 2002.

Abstract: This article explains how to perturb the normals on a surface to simulate the curvature of a denser model by using bump mapping. We will enhance the visual quality without losing speed or having to abandon more traditional ways of adding detail.

Applying Decals to Arbitrary Surfaces

Eric Lengyel (C4 Engine) Game Programming Gems 2, 2001.

Abstract: This article presents a general method for applying a decal to an arbitrarily shaped surface and concurrently clipping the decal to the surface's boundary.
