A Texture Lookup Approach to Bézier Curve Evaluation on the GPU
- Auto-discovered
Muhammad Anas, Alan Wolfe
Visit resource ↗Description
A Texture Lookup Approach to Bézier Curve Evaluation on the GPU is Muhammad Anas and Alan Wolfe's JCGT paper on evaluating Bézier curves on the GPU via texture lookups instead of long shader polynomials.
Coefficients pack into textures; the authors compare accuracy and throughput to direct evaluation for font and vector workloads.
Intermediate GPU programmers comfortable with samplers and parametric curves are the audience.
The PDF and snippets live on jcgt.org under standard JCGT terms.
