Interest is growing for 3D models of the biological mesoscale, the intermediate scale between the nanometer scale of molecular structure and micrometer scale of cellular biology. However, it is currently difficult to gather, ...

For a long time, the major focus of membrane simulations was laid on rectangular membrane patches based on the fluid mosaic model. Because of the computational performance of today's computer hardware, it is now possible ...

We want to recreate spatially-varying bi-directional reflectance distribution functions (SVBRDFs) from a single image. Pro- ducing these SVBRDFs from single images will allow designers to incorporate many new materials in ...

Real-time denoising for Monte Carlo rendering remains a critical challenge with regard to the demanding requirements of both high fidelity and low computation time. In this paper, we propose a novel and practical deep ...

Good importance sampling is crucial for real-time path tracing where only low sample budgets are possible. We present two efficient sampling techniques tailored for massively-parallel GPU path tracing which improve next ...

Many real-world materials such as sand, snow, salt, and rice are comprised of large collections of grains. Previously, multiscale rendering of granular materials requires precomputing light transport per grain and has ...

Specular aliasing can make seemingly simple scenes notoriously hard to render efficiently: small geometric features with high curvature and near specular reflectance result in tiny lighting features which are difficult to ...
