Abstract:
Voxelization is used in a number of applications, mainly in the field of volume graphics. We require it for a non-graphical application, the dynamic generation of animations for automatic presentation of models or scenes according to a user specified interest.1 In this sketch we present the utilization of hardware accelerated voxelization to generate voxelized object data keeping a reference to the unique, single objects. With this voxelization approach we are now able to employ our animation system in highly dynamic environments and with increased resolutions.
