I found these links on Hacker News (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2486841):http://graphics.pixar.com/library/ http://www.disneyanimation.com/library/list.html Many fascinating papers! Also, information about Disney's open-source Ptex texture mapping system, which has some advantages over UV mapping: http://ptex.us/ Amir
Thanks for the links!Much reading to do, ptex for example sounds like something interesting... never heard of it, I must admit.
