Title:

    Worley Cellular Textures in Sh

Presenter(s)/Author(s):



Abstract:


    Procedural texturing is a memory-efficient method for improving surface realism. One of the most interesting such techniques is Worley’s cellular texture basis function [Worley 1996]. We have adapted the original algorithm to a single-pass pixel shader on current GPUs that lets us interactively manipulate parameters and generate dynamic textures.
