TY - JOUR AU - Bernik, Andrija AU - Kotlar, Mario PY - 2018 TI - Ptex system for advanced texture mapping JF - Acta Graphica; Vol 29 No 1 (2018) DO - 10.25027/agj2017.28.v29i1.135 KW - N2 - Ptex is a texture mapping method. It's main advantage is the elimination of UV mapping process by storing separate texture for each face. Ptex deals with the filtering across face boundaries, which makes all the little separate textures look seamless, as if they were one big texture. Ptex file format can efficiently store hundreds of thousands of images into a single file. Ptex API is released as open source, written in C++, which enables implementation of Ptex in various programs. This paper analyses advantages and drawbacks of this system and examines if Ptex is today usable outside of big production studios. Analysis leads us to a conclusion that Ptex can already be used by individuals outside of big production studios. UR - https://www.actagraphica.hr/index.php/actagraphica/article/view/135
