Video Lecture: Feb. 3, 2000

• Real-Time Rendgering of Massive Problem
  - algorithmic approaches, unstructured sets of polygons (Polygon Soup)
• Hierarchical Culling for faster speed
• Portals and Mirrors - Potentially Visible Sets
  - cells and portals (images look black when culled)
• MultiRes Display Tesselation
  - increment by adding/subtracting triangles
• Texture-Based Simplification
  - texture placement simplifies even complex polygons
• Radiosity
  - coplanar triangles, plygons, texture mapping, Brooks house model
• OBB Tree on a Realistic Engine Model
  - collision query, rejection set, large blocks vs. small blocks
• Ray Tracing
  - CSG objects/trees, object placement and collision avoidance
• Annual Video Computational Geometry Conference
  - Problem 1: unfold a convex polyhedron into a simple polygon
  - Problem 2: fold a simpel polygon into a complex polyhedron
• 3-D Polyhedra and Metamorphosis
• Realization of a Deformed Curve
• Mesh Collapse Compression
