Title:
- Fast Automatic Level of Detail for Physically-based Materials
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Abstract:
Using a term rewriting system, simplifications of physically-based materials described in a declarative programming language can be created automatically. Sets of rules for the term rewriting system allow for customizing simplifications according to use cases. Examples include automatic level-of-detail generation or simplification of materials for faster rendering in realtime viewports and games.
