Hi

I was trying to learn more about rendering using projected grid, but most of the links that i have found on google link to this;

http://graphics.cs.lth.se/theses/projects/projgrid/

However that link seems to be dead. Has anyone got any sensible links or papers that i could look at? :)

Abstract

This thesis will examine how a large water surface can be rendered in an efficient manner using modern graphics hardware. If a non-planar approximation of the water surface is required, a high-resolution polygonal representation must be created dynamically. This is usually done by treating the surface as a height field. To allow spatial scalability, different methods of “Level-Of-Detail” (LOD) are often used when rendering said height field. This thesis presents an alternative technique called “projected grid”. The intent of the projected grid is to create a grid mesh whose vertices are even-spaced, not in world-space which is the traditional way but in post-perspective camera space. This will deliver a polygonal representation that provides spatial scalability along with high relative resolution without resorting to multiple levels of detail.

Here is the code.
Here is the paper.

You may want to have a look a another paper that uses also a projected grid (include source code too)
