Refresh your Memory: Advanced Graphics Algorithms

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-broke-my-brain dept.

subtle writes "DevMaster.net has posted an interesting article about advanced graphics algorithms. The article discusses six widely used algorithms in graphics rendering of indoor and outdoor environments, namely: quad-based static terrain, Roettger's approach to continuous levels-of-detail in terrain, real-time optimally adapting meshes, portals, BSPs and PVSs. In each case the algorithm is discussed and some aspects of implementation are considered, as well as analyize each algorithm for its application in modern graphics systems."

    "The Milliard Gargantubrain?" said Deep Thought with unconcealed contempt.
    "A mere abacus. Mention it not."

    thoroughly rolling the r's, "could talk all four legs off an Arcturan

  4. Interesting, a question for the graphics coders.. by stratjakt · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    What's supposed to be in /include/linux and /include/asm in the days of the 2.6 kernel?

    In the "good old days" these were symlinks to /usr/src/linux/include/linux and asm-(arch), but now I'm reading some crap about sanitized kernel headers or glibc headers? Some are still saying kernel headers, some saying this blah blah. Google is a shitty source of information when everybody says something different.

    What goes in there and where's the official source for it?

    If you think this is offtopic, sit on it and glRotate.
