Large Terrain Rendering

Realization of large terrain rendering is well-known problem in modern applications which covers this topic. Large terrain rendering can be found in large scale of programs from video games to professional tools used for environment rendering and visual effects processing. For implementation of such programs exists much algorithms, using different techniques for storing, processing and rendering of data. Important subject in domain of graphics data rendering are system limits and also distinctive capacity of human eye. Next important part is the pick of API through which program will communicate with graphics card. In this thesis Direct3D interface from DirectX9 package have been chosen. For comparison in approach to large terrain rendering realization, following algorithms are going to be used : brute force, quadtree and ROAM algorithm
