Abstract

Modeling and rendering realistic ocean scenes has been thoroughly investigated for many years. Its appearance has been studied and it is possible to find very detailed simulations with a high degree of realism. Nevertheless, real-time management of the huge heightmaps that are necessary for rendering ocean is still not solved. We propose a new technique for tessellating the ocean surface on GPU. This technique is capable of offering view-dependent approximations of the mesh while maintaining coherence among the extracted approximations when refining or coarsening the mesh. This feature is very important as most solutions previously presented must re-tessellate from the initial mesh.
