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 ...
Interactive Rendering of Atmospheric Scattering Effects Using Graphics Hardware
(The Eurographics Association, 2002)
To create realistic images using computer graphics, an important element to consider is atmospheric scattering, that is, the phenomenon by which light is scattered by small particles in the air. This effect is the cause ...
Automatic Shader Level of Detail
(The Eurographics Association, 2003)
Current graphics hardware can render procedurally shaded objects in real-time. However, due to resource and performance limitations, interactive shaders can not yet approach the complexity of shaders written for film ...
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 ...
Adaptive Texture Maps
(The Eurographics Association, 2002)
We introduce several new variants of hardware-based adaptive texture maps and present applications in two, three, and four dimensions. In particular, we discuss representations of images and volumes with locally adaptive ...
LightSkin: Real-Time Global Illumination for Virtual and Mixed Reality
(The Eurographics Association, 2013)
Synthesizing global illumination effects is a vast field of research for both offline and real-time rendering. While the most important goals for offline rendering are realism and physical correctness, real-time rendering ...
Exploiting the PANORAMA Representation for Convolutional Neural Network Classification and Retrieval
(The Eurographics Association, 2017)
A novel 3D model classification and retrieval method, based on the PANORAMA representation and Convolutional Neural Networks, is presented. Initially, the 3D models are pose normalized using the SYMPAN method and consecutively ...
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 ...
Towards a Principled Kernel Prediction for Spatially Varying BSSRDFs
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)
While the modeling of sub-surface translucency using homogeneous BSSRDFs is an established industry standard, applying the same approach to heterogeneous materials is predominantly heuristical. We propose a more principled ...
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 ...
