Example-based Interpolation and Synthesis of Bidirectional Texture Functions
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)Bidirectional Texture Functions (BTF) have proven to be a well-suited representation for the reproduction of measured real-world surface appearance and provide a high degree of realism. We present an approach for designing ... -
Exploring Local Modifications for Constrained Meshes
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)Mesh editing under constraints is a challenging task with numerous applications in geometric modeling, industrial design, and architectural form finding. Recent methods support constraint-based exploration of meshes with ... -
Fabrication-aware Design with Intersecting Planar Pieces
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)We propose a computational design approach to generate 3D models composed of interlocking planar pieces. We show how intricate 3D forms can be created by sliding the pieces into each other along straight slits, leading to ... -
Finite Element Image Warping
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)We introduce a single unifying framework for a wide range of content-aware image warping tasks using a finite element method (FEM). Existing approaches commonly define error terms over vertex finite differences and can be ... -
Fleshing: Spine-driven Bending with Local Volume Preservation
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)Several design and animation techniques use a one-dimensional proxyC (a spine curve in 3D) to control the deformation or behavior of a digital model of a 3D shape S. We propose a modification of these ''skinning'' techniques ... -
Freeform Shadow Boundary Editing
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)We present an algorithm for artistically modifying physically based shadows. With our tool, an artist can directly edit the shadow boundaries in the scene in an intuitive fashion similar to freeform curve editing. Our ... -
Gaze-driven Object Tracking for Real Time Rendering
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)To efficiently deploy eye-tracking within 3D graphics applications, we present a new probabilistic method that predicts the patterns of user's eye fixations in animated 3D scenes from noisy eye-tracker data. The proposed ... -
Geometry-Aware Volume-of-Fluid Method
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)We present a new framework to simulate moving interfaces in viscous incompressible two phase flows. The goal is to achieve both conservation of the fluid volume and a detailed reconstruction of the fluid surface. To these ... -
Geosemantic Snapping for Sketch-Based Modeling
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)Modeling 3D objects from sketches is a process that requires several challenging problems including segmentation, recognition and reconstruction. Some of these tasks are harder for humans and some are harder for the machine. ... -
Global Selection of Stream Surfaces
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)Stream surfaces are well-known and widely-used structures for 3D flow visualization. A single surface can be sufficient to represent important global flow characteristics. Unfortunately, due to the huge space of possible ... -
Interactive Exploration and Flattening of Deformed Historical Documents
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)We present an interactive application for browsing severely damaged documents and other cultural artefacts. Such documents often contain strong geometric distortions such as wrinkling, buckling, and shrinking and cannot ... -
Interactive Facades - Analysis and Synthesis of Semi-Regular Facades
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)Urban facades regularly contain interesting variations due to allowed deformations of repeated elements (e.g., windows in different open or close positions) posing challenges to state-of-the-art facade analysis algorithms. ... -
Landmark-Guided Elastic Shape Analysis of Spherically-Parameterized Surfaces
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)We argue that full surface correspondence (registration) and optimal deformations (geodesics) are two related problems and propose a framework that solves them simultaneously. We build on the Riemannian shape analysis of ... -
Locally Adaptive Products for All-Frequency Relighting
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)Triple product integrals evaluate the shading at a point by factoring the reflection equation into incident illumination, visibility, and BRDF. By densely sampling the space of incident directions, this approach is capable ... -
Material Editing in Complex Scenes by Surface Light Field Manipulation and Reflectance Optimization
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)This work addresses the challenge of intuitive appearance editing in scenes with complex geometric layout and complex, spatially-varying indirect lighting. In contrast to previous work, that aimed to edit surface reflectance, ... -
Measurement-Based Synthesis of Facial Microgeometry
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)We present a technique for generating microstructure-level facial geometry by augmenting a mesostructure-level facial scan with detail synthesized from a set of exemplar skin patches scanned at much higher resolution. ... -
Mutable Elastic Models for Sculpting Structured Shapes
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)In this paper, we propose a new paradigm for free-form shape deformation. Standard deformable models minimize an energy measuring the distance to a single target shape. We propose a new, ''mutable'' elastic model. It ... -
A Novel Projection Technique with Detail Capture and Shape Correction for Smoke Simulation
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)Smoke simulation on a large grid is quite time consuming and most of the computation time is spent on the projection step.We present a novel projection method which produces quite similar visual results as those produced ... -
A Particle-Grid Method for Opaque Ice Formation
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)This paper presents a particle-grid method to simulate the generation of opaque ice which has air bubbles in it. Water temperature is diffused over a grid, and the exchange of dissolved air between ice and water particles ... -
Path Space Regularization for Holistic and Robust Light Transport
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)We propose a simple yet powerful regularization framework for robust light transport simulation. It builds on top of existing unbiased methods and resorts to a consistent estimation using regularization only for paths which ...
