Poxels: polygonal voxel environment rendering (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Miller, M., Cumming, A., Chalmers, K., Kenwright, B., & Mitchell, K. (2014, November). Poxels: polygonal voxel environment rendering. Presented at Proceedings of the 20th ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and Technology - VRST '14

We present efficient rendering of opaque, sparse, voxel environments with data amplified in local graphics memory with stream-out from a geomery shader to a cached vertex buffer pool. We show that our Poxel rendering primitive aligns with optimized r... Read More about Poxels: polygonal voxel environment rendering.
