GPU Bezier Curve Tessellation: Dynamic Level of Detail in Web Rendering

By Visual Computing & Brand Identity Review Board

Creative & Technical Insights

Mathematical vector curves on the GPU: adaptive subdivision algorithms, quadratic and cubic Bezier tessellation, and artifact-free zooming in WebGL/WebGPU.

Rendering vector typography and CAD outlines at infinite zoom without memory overhead requires dynamic GPU tessellation based on screen-space curvature.

1. Adaptive Subdivision Blueprint

  • Screen-Space Error Tolerance: Subdividing Bezier segments only when the distance between chord and curve exceeds 0.5 physical pixels.
  • Vertex Pulling Pipelines: Passing raw control point coordinates into storage buffers and computing vertex positions inside vertex shaders.
  • Infinite Sharpness: Eliminates pixelated polygonal edges regardless of canvas zoom factor.
