  abstract =   "This paper describes a method and a system for visualizing a
               virtual tunnel through an existing geologic formation and a
               method for the generation of a camera animation along the
               tunnel axis. The tunnel is built from geologic data coming
               from vertical sample drills from the mountain top along the
               selected tunnel axis. Its wire frame model is then edited by
               a geologist and image information of the rock appearance is
               textured onto the tunnel wall, resulting in a photorealistic
               representation of the expected geologic rock formations.
               Finally a camera animation and video options are defined to
               render a video sequence of the camera                 
               movement.",
