View-dependent refinement of multiresolution meshes with subdivision connectivity, Daniel Azuma et al., in the proceedings of Afrigraph 2003. [ pdf - 3 megs ] [ project page ]
Fishies Surface Light Fields for 3D Photography, Daniel Wood et al., in the Proceedings of SIGGRAPH, 2000. [ pdf - 4 megs ] [ project home page ]

A surface light field is a highly compressible representation of the appearance of shiny objects. In this paper we create surface light fields from 3D scans and photographs of real objects, and describe several novel approaches to compression.

Face Making Faces, Brian Guenter et al., in the Proceedings of SIGGRAPH, 1998. [ pdf - 2 megs ]
Panorama Multiperspective Panoramas for Cel Animation, Daniel Wood et al., in the Proceedings of SIGGRAPH, 1997. [ pdf - 2 megs ]

We describe an algorithm to generate images incorporating many perspectives that can be used to create the illusion of 3D camera motion in cel animation.
