Hybrid billboard clouds for model simplification
Ethan S. Bromberg-Martin, Árni Már Jónsson, G. Elisabeta Marai, Morgan McGuire · 2004
We introduce hybrid billboard clouds, a part-mesh, part-billboard representation used to simplify 3D models in the context of realtime rendering. Our hybrid generation method produces simplified models with improved appearance when compared to models generated by either image-based or mesh simplification alone.
