Physically Meaningful Rendering using Tristimulus Colours
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
In photorealistic image synthesis the radiative transfer equation is often not solved by simulating every wavelength of light, but instead by computing tristimulus transport, for instance using sRGB primaries as a basis. ...
ISHair: Importance Sampling for Hair Scattering
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
We present an importance sampling method for the bidirectional scattering distribution function (bsdf) of hair. Our method is based on the multi-lobe hair scattering model presented by Sadeghi et al. [SPJT10]. We reduce ...
Example-Based Fractured Appearance
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
A common weathering effect is the appearance of cracks due to material fractures. Previous exemplar-based aging and weathering methods have either reused images or sought to replicate observed patterns exactly. We introduce ...
Approximating Functions on a Mesh with Restricted Voronoï Diagrams
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
We propose a method that computes a piecewise constant approximation of a function defined on a mesh. The approximation is associated with the cells of a restricted Voronoï diagram. Our method optimizes an objective function ...
Pre-convolved Radiance Caching
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
The incident indirect light over a range of image pixels is often coherent. Two common approaches to exploit this inter-pixel coherence to improve rendering performance are Irradiance Caching and Radiance Caching. Both ...
Visualization of Particle-based Data with Transparency and Ambient Occlusion
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
Particle-based simulation techniques, like the discrete element method or molecular dynamics, are widely used in many research fields. In real-time explorative visualization it is common to render the resulting data using ...
An Area-Preserving Parametrization for Spherical Rectangles
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
We present an area-preserving parametrization for spherical rectangles which is an analytical function with domain in the unit rectangle [0;1]2 and range in a region included in the unit-radius sphere. The parametrization ...
Accurate Fitting of Measured Reflectances Using a Shifted Gamma Micro-facet Distribution
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
Material models are essential to the production of photo-realistic images. Measured BRDFs provide accurate representation with complex visual appearance, but have larger storage cost. Analytical BRDFs such as Cook- Torrance ...
