Combining procedural, polygonal, and bitmap representations using XML
Anders Henrysson, Mark Ollila · 2002
Hybrid representations - that of using image and procedural methods to synthesize images. Procedural methods allow us to describe media (2D images, 3D objects etc.) with very little information and render it photorealistically. Since the procedure is run on the client (for instance a PC or a mobile phone with limited network), it makes sense to adapt the procedure to the properties of the client.
