Abstract :
Ringing reduces the working memory needed during the rendering of subdivision curves, surfaces, and animations. For example, it only stores 4D vertices when rendering the dth level of subdivision of a polygon using four-point, cubic, or quintic B-spline subdivision masks. Ringing can be used on CPUs and GPUs.
