Level Set Contour Textures

Hello,

first off all i like to say thank you for the great paper you're providing here. I also found your paper "Level Set Contour Textures" here. Now i ask my self why this paper isn't also linked on this website because it wasn't easy to find it. Is it still under work and you haven't submit this? Or did i simple overseen something? :)

I'm currently writing my bachelor thesis related to Chris Green's approach and i like to mention your papers (aaedt and lsctex). Is it possible to provide me a bibtex for lsctex?
And furthermore i like to ask if i''m allowed to use some figures from maybe both of the papers. Actually i don't know exactly which ones but i thought it's a good idea to ask before in general.

Thanks and regards,

Florian Oeser

Thanks for the comment. An explanation is in order.

That other article is formally unpublished work, originally submitted
to a graphics journal but later retracted because it did not add
enough substance to motivate an article. Compared to Green's
rendering method, it adds little more than a variation, and it is
not really any better, just slightly different when compared fairly
to Green's method with the same amount of texture memory.
(Storing the gradients explicitly to improve the quality requires
memory that is just as well spent on increasing the resolution
for Green's more straightforward method.)

I do not recommend using that other method of mine.
My advice is to use Green's method, possibly with 16-bit distance
data instead of 8-bit to improve the rendering at larger distances,
but use my better AA distance transform.
