Abstract
Trimming textures are obtained and applied to parametric surface. The trimming textures are stored as texture maps and are applied to provide a visual sensation of absence when rendering an image. The trimming texture may be obtained in a pre-rendering process and applied to the parametric surface in a run-time process using a 3D graphics accelerator.
