  • Warping and morphing of raster images.
  • 2D and 3D textures.
  • Analytic surfaces. Parametric surfaces, patches, continuity.
  • Voxels, boundary representations, CSG models.
  • Local and global deformations techniques.
  • Space subdivision and searching methods.
  • Bounding volumes, bounding volumes hierarchies.
  • Realistic rendering models. Global rendering equation.
  • Volume and surface visualisation. Triagle mesh decimation.
