Abstract

Bump mapping was introduced as a method of rendering realistic shading on bumpy surfaces, without actually rendering a full 3D model of the bumps. Bump mapping works well for parameterized surfaces. The authors interpret the 3D texture as a displacement function to be added to the surface position.
