Research of Point-based Rendering
点模型及其绘制技术研究*

Point model is a new representation of 3D models. Com pared with traditional triangle meshes, point models are suitable to represent irregular objects with complex geometry. For such objects, the technique of point -based rendering brings both high efficiency and high quality. This paper discu ssed the concept of point model, followed by an introduction to the base idea an d base steps, and acceleration of point-based rendering. Presents a prospect of its future research.
