Silhouette Texture
Problem
Silhouettes are important
Visual cues for human perception system
Render detailed silhouettes is expensive
low-polygon count objects causing jagged silhouettes
Grand Theft Auto World of Warcraft
Our Solution
Render high quality silhouette with low polygon count
In the spirit of Silhouette Clipping [Sanders et al 00]
Load balance for pixel for vertex stages
GPU today was optimized for ~ 10 pixels per vertex
(not true for dense meshes)
Outer hull + Normal map
Original Mesh (308 fps)
Our method (725 fps)
Previous Work
Silhouette Clipping [Sanders et al 00]
Exterior silhouettes only
Explicit storage of all original edges
Not GPU friendly
VDM/GDM [Wang et al 03,04] and Relief Mapping [Policarpo et al 05]
Mainly for interior texture details
Difficulty in handling silhouettes
Interactive Horizon Mapping [Sloan et al 00, Heidrich et al 00]
Similar data structure, but for self-shadowing
