      We present an anti-aliased real-time rendering method for local area lights based on Linearly Transformed Cosines (LTCs). It significantly reduces the aliasing artifacts of highlights reflected from area lights due to ...

    • Real-time Anticipation of Occlusions for Automated Camera Control in Toric Space 

      Burg, Ludovic; Lino, Christophe; Christie, Marc (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2020)
      Efficient visibility computation is a prominent requirement when designing automated camera control techniques for dynamic 3D environments; computer games, interactive storytelling or 3D media applications all need to track ...

    • Real-time appearance preserving out-of-core rendering with shadows 

      Guthe, Michael; Borodin, Pavel; Balázs, Ákos; Klein, Reinhard (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Despite recent advances in finding efficient LOD-representations for gigantic 3D objects, rendering of complex, gigabyte-sized models and environments is still a challenging task, especially under real-time constraints and ...

      Pfister, H; Kaufman, A (The Eurographics Association, 1993)
      This paper describes a high-performance &pecial-purpose system, the Cube-3 machine, fordisplaying and manipulating high-resolution volumetric datasets in real-time. Cube-3 will allowscientists, engineers, and biomedical ...

    • Real-time Bas-Relief Generation from Depth-and-Normal Maps on GPU 

      Ji, Zhongping; Sun, Xianfang; Li, Shi; Wang, Yigang (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)
      To design a bas-relief from a 3D scene is an inherently interactive task in many scenarios. The user normally needs to get instant feedback to select a proper viewpoint. However, current methods are too slow to facilitate ...

    • A Real-time Beam Tracer with Application to Exact Soft Shadows 

      Overbeck, Ryan; Ramamoorthi, Ravi; Mark, William R. (The Eurographics Association, 2007)
      Efficiently calculating accurate soft shadows cast by area light sources remains a difficult problem. Ray tracing based approaches are subject to noise or banding, and most other accurate methods either scale poorly with ...
