Using Stochastic Modeling for Texture Generation

TL;DR: Texture-map computations can be made tractable through use of precalculated tables which allow computational costs independent of the texture density, and the cost and performance of the new technique is compared to previous techniques.

TL;DR: This paper generalizes Crow's procedure for computing shadow volumes caused by the end points of the linear source results in an easy determination of the reions of penumbrae and umbrae on the face prior to shading calculation.

TL;DR: A “sparse convolution” procedure for generating random textures with arbitrary spectral content is described, which provides the basis for a digital paint system which rivals the textural sophistication of traditional artistic media.

TL;DR: The problem of texturing is considered in detail, the model of constructive hypervolume texture is introduced, and its implementation is discussed, as well as the special modeling language used for modeling hypervolume objects.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method of using a texturing function to perform a small perturbation on the direction of the surface normal before using it in the intensity calculations is presented.
