Hardware accelerated rendering of CSG and transparency
SIGGRAPH '94: Proceedings of the 21st annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques

This paper describes algorithms for implementing accurate rendering of CSG and transparency in a hardware 3D accelerator. The algorithms are based on a hardware architecture which performs front-to-back Z-sorted shading; a multiple-pass algorithm which ...
Render synthetic fog into interior and exterior photographs
VRCAI '13: Proceedings of the 12th ACM SIGGRAPH International Conference on Virtual-Reality Continuum and Its Applications in Industry

In this paper, we propose a framework for rendering synthetic fog into interior and exterior photographs. Given a single photograph as input, our approach first obtains an approximation of the illumination and geometry for the underlying scene with a ...
