Title:

    Hybrid Billboard Clouds for Model Simplification

Presenter(s)/Author(s):



Abstract:


    We introduce hybrid billboard clouds, a part-mesh, part-billboard representation used to simplify 3D models in the context of real-time rendering. Our hybrid generation method produces simplified models with improved appearance when compared to models generated by either image-based or mesh simplification alone.
