چکیده

In this paper, we examine the octahedron as a parameterization scheme to represent environment maps in real-time rendering applications. We discuss two projection schemes and show two convenient unfold mappings to pack the platonic solid into quadratic or rectangular textures. We carry out an analysis and consider rendering performance for interactive applications as well as the quality of representation. We further discuss applications and scenarios which benefit from this parameterization.

Solutions to the T-Systems with Principal Coefficients

The A∞ T-system, also called the octahedron recurrence, is a dynamical recurrence relation. It can be realized as mutation in a coefficient-free cluster algebra (Kedem 2008, Di Francesco and Kedem 2009). We define T-systems with principal coefficients from cluster algebra aspect, and give combinatorial solutions with respect to any valid initial condition in terms of partition functions of perf...

Zenithial Orthotriangular Projection A useful if unesthetic polyhedral map projection to a peculiar plane

This paper describes the construction, properties and potential applications of a cartographic projection recently developed by the author, called the Zenithial Orthotriangular (ZOT) projection of an Octahedron. ZOT maps a planet to a plane by modelling it as an octahedron (a regular solid having 8 equilateral triangular facets), which is then unfolded and stretched to fit within a square. As d...

Enumeration of self-dual planar maps

A planar map is an embedding of a connected planar graph in the sphere such that the surface is partitioned into simply connected regions; in other words, it is a finite cellular decomposition of the sphere into vertices, edges, and faces (0−, 1− and 2−cells, respectively). In particular, 3−connected planar maps correspond to polyhedra. Motivated by the Four Colour Problem, W. Tutte [4] launche...

T-systems with Boundaries from Network Solutions

In this paper, we use the network solution of the Ar T -system to derive that of the unrestricted A∞ T -system, equivalent to the octahedron relation. We then present a method for implementing various boundary conditions on this system, which consists of picking initial data with suitable symmetries. The corresponding restricted T -systems are solved exactly in terms of networks. This gives a s...
