Manipulation

The “Geometry Manipulation” section of the book focuses on the ability of graph-

ics processing units (GPUs) to process and generate geometry in exciting ways.

The first article in this section, “Dynamic GPU Terrain” by David Pangerl,

presents a GPU-based algorithm to dynamically modify terrain topology and

synchronize the changes with a physics simulation.

The next article, “Bandwidth-Efficient Procedural Meshes in the GPU via

Tessellation” by Gustavo Bastos Nunes and Jo˜ao Lucas Guberman Raza, covers

the procedural generation of highly detailed meshes with the help of the hardware

tessellator while integrating a geomorphic-enabled ...
