With ever increasing ray traversal and hierarchy construction performance the application of ray tracing to problems often tackled by rasterization-based algorithms is becoming a viable alternative. This is especially ...

With the proliferation of low-cost, consumer level, head-mounted displays (HMDs) such as Oculus VR or Sony's Morpheus, we are witnessing a reappearance of virtual reality. However, there are still important stumbling blocks ...

On the foundations of many rendering algorithm is the symmetry between the path traversed by light and its adjoint from the camera. However, several effects, including polarization or fluorescence, break that symmetry and ...

The use of data driven models in computer animation offers several benefits. We present an analysis of a regression model as a method to simulate cloth. In our approach, we generate data from a simple mass-spring system ...

Position Based Dynamics (PBD) methodology is a widely used approach for simulation of deformable bodies in the context of video games. Its main advantages over force based methods are its unconditional stability and its ...

In Computer Graphics the fluid simulation plays a relevant role. Amongst the existing methods, the SPH method is highlighted by its simplicity, versatility and adaptability. Nevertheless, several research show some limitations ...

The techniques for rendering woven cloth employed in a production environment often neglect many of the structural features of the fabric, as well as light-scattering processes that occur in the yarn. Research in this area ...
