Tutorial

Illustrates:

Tessellation tutorial SDK sample with source. Demonstrates the use of the ATI Tessellation SDK through basic examples. Different modes and primitive types are supported. This is a good starting point for beginners wishing to learn the ATI tessellation SDK.

Terrain Rendering

Illustrates:

This terrain rendering demo showcases tessellation and displacement mapping with lighting computed directly from a height map. Also demonstrates the use of adaptive tessellation mode, whereby the terrain's level of detail is dynamically adjusted based on each vertex's distance from the camera.

Character Rendering

Illustrates:

This character rendering SDK sample showcases tessellation and displacement mapping with pixel-shader hemispheric lighting from world-space normal maps.

Tessellation White Paper

Illustrates:

White paper describing ATI tessellation, including a programming guide of the tessellation SDK.
