Abstract

This paper presents a fast and easy to implement voxelization algorithm, which is based on the z-buffer. Unlike most existing methods, our approach is suitable both for polygonal and analytical objects. The efficiency of the method is independent of the object complexity and can be accelerated by taking advantage of widely available, low-cost hardware.
