Integrating displacement mapping with subdivision surfaces

Abstract

The implementation of displacement mapping on subdivision surfaces is discussed in this paper The subdivision surface has recently drawn a lot of attention in the area of geometric modeling, multiresolution surface representation and geometric compression. In our research, we have developed the versatility and extensibility of this technique. The subdivision surface technique can be conveniently incorporated with many existing surface modeling methodologies. In this paper we present the amalgamation of the subdivision surface and displacement mapping, for producing realistic surface details.
