  abstract =   "This paper proposes to use relief-mapped conical frusta
               (cones cut by planes) to skin skeletal objects. Based on
               this representation, current programmable graphics hardware
               can perform the rendering with only minimal communication
               between the CPU and GPU. A consistent definition of conical
               frusta including texture parametrization and a continuous
               surface normal is provided. Rendering is performed by
               analytical ray casting of the relief-mapped frusta directly
               on the GPU. We demonstrate both static and animated objects
               rendered using our technique and compare to polygonal
               renderings of similar quality.",
