Learned Fitting of Spatially Varying BRDFs
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
The use of spatially varying reflectance models (SVBRDF) is the state of the art in physically based rendering and the ultimate goal is to acquire them from real world samples. Recently several promising deep learning ...
Adaptive Temporal Sampling for Volumetric Path Tracing of Medical Data
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
Monte-Carlo path tracing techniques can generate stunning visualizations of medical volumetric data. In a clinical context, such renderings turned out to be valuable for communication, education, and diagnosis. Because a ...
Tessellated Shading Streaming
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
Presenting high-fidelity 3D content on compact portable devices with low computational power is challenging. Smartphones, tablets and head-mounted displays (HMDs) suffer from thermal and battery-life constraints and thus ...
Real-time Image-based Lighting of Microfacet BRDFs with Varying Iridescence
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
Iridescence is a natural phenomenon that is perceived as gradual color changes, depending on the view and illumination direction. Prominent examples are the colors seen in oil films and soap bubbles. Unfortunately, iridescent ...
Combining Point and Line Samples for Direct Illumination
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
We develop a unified framework for combining point and line samples in direct lighting calculations. While line samples have proven beneficial in a variety of rendering contexts, their application in direct lighting has ...
Distributing Monte Carlo Errors as a Blue Noise in Screen Space by Permuting Pixel Seeds Between Frames
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
Recent work has shown that distributing Monte Carlo errors as a blue noise in screen space improves the perceptual quality of rendered images. However, obtaining such distributions remains an open problem with high sample ...
Adaptive BRDF-Oriented Multiple Importance Sampling of Many Lights
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
Many-light rendering is becoming more common and important as rendering goes into the next level of complexity. However, to calculate the illumination under many lights, state of the art algorithms are still far from ...
Quantifying the Error of Light Transport Algorithms
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
This paper proposes a new methodology for measuring the error of unbiased physically based rendering algorithms. The current state of the art includes mean squared error (MSE) based metrics and visual comparisons of ...
Flexible SVBRDF Capture with a Multi-Image Deep Network
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
Empowered by deep learning, recent methods for material capture can estimate a spatially-varying reflectance from a single photograph. Such lightweight capture is in stark contrast with the tens or hundreds of pictures ...
Global Illumination Shadow Layers
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
Computer graphics artists often resort to compositing to rework light effects in a synthetic image without requiring a new render. Shadows are primary subjects of artistic manipulation as they carry important stylistic ...
