Investigation into the use of texturing for real-time computer animation / by Timothy W. Meier, Robert B. McGhee, and Michael J. Zyda.

摘要

We present in this study in investigation into the use of texturing on the Silicon Graphics, Inc. IRIS for real-time computer animation. Using a tool designed specifically for the IRIS for defining texture patterns, two approaches to the design and implementation of software functions to fill objects with multi-color texture patterns are discussed. The first approach makes use of the IRIS patterning hardware to fill objects with multi-color texture patterns. Realizing the limitations of the first approach, the second approach uses an algorithm to partition a polygon defined in three space into a number of smaller polygons, with each polygon representing a texture point
