Abstract: A method of forming a volumetric effect on a game map of a video game is provided. In the method, a variable density volume of the game map is determined based on a mesh of the game map and a bounding box. The variable density volume includes the volumetric effect. The variable density volume is sliced into a plurality of texture layers. Each of the plurality of texture layers includes information associated with at least one of the volumetric effect or the mesh. An interaction between a virtual object on the game map and the volumetric effect is determined based on movement of the virtual object. The volumetric effect is rendered based on a cut out of the virtual object in the variable density volume and the determined interaction.

Abstract: This invention relates to a vehicle wheel cover retention system for securing a wheel cover to a vehicle wheel using an adhesive. According to one feature of the invention, the wheel cover has a portion which extends to a backside of a window, the portion having a lip formed thereon which is received in a cut provided on the backside of the window in order to retain the wheel cover in place on the wheel for a time sufficient to enable the adhesive to cure in order to permanently secure the wheel cover to the wheel. According to another feature of the invention, the wheel cover has an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface provided with a lip formed thereon which is received in a groove formed in an outboard face of the wheel in order to retain the wheel cover in place on the wheel for a time sufficient to enable the adhesive to cure in order to permanently secure the wheel cover to the wheel.
