Analytic Tangent Irradiance Environment Maps for Anisotropic Surfaces
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
Environment-mapped rendering of Lambertian isotropic surfaces is common, and a popular technique is to use a quadratic spherical harmonic expansion. This compact irradiance map representation is widely adopted in interactive ...
Perlin Noise Pixel Shaders
(The Eurographics Association, 2001)
While working on a method for supporting real-time procedural solid texturing, we developed a general purpose multipass pixel shader to generate the Perlin noise function. We implemented this algorithm on SGI workstations ...
A Quadrilateral Rendering Primitive
(The Eurographics Association, 2004)
The only surface primitives that are supported by common graphics hardware are triangles and more complex shapes have to be triangulated before being sent to the rasterizer. Even quadrilaterals, which are frequently used ...
Extracting Microfacet-based BRDF Parameters from Arbitrary Materials with Power Iterations
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
We introduce a novel fitting procedure that takes as input an arbitrary material, possibly anisotropic, and automatically converts it to a microfacet BRDF. Our algorithm is based on the property that the distribution of ...
Filtering Distributions of Normals for Shading Antialiasing
(The Eurographics Association, 2016)
High-frequency illumination effects, such as highly glossy highlights on curved surfaces, are challenging to render in a stable manner. Such features can be much smaller than the area of a pixel and carry a high amount of ...
Using Flash Photography and Image-Based Rendering to Document Cultural Heritage Artifacts
(The Eurographics Association, 2016)
A novel image-based rendering system is proposed for documenting cultural heritage artifacts. The system utilizes backscattering photography to acquire the initial pictures and derives estimates for the object's diffuse ...
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 ...
