Real-time Landscape-size Convective Clouds Simulation and Rendering
(The Eurographics Association, 2017)
This paper presents an efficient, physics-based procedural model for the real-time animation and visualization of cumulus clouds at landscape size. We couple a coarse Lagrangian model of air parcels with a procedural ...
Data-Driven Fire Synthesis and Design
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)
We present a data-driven synthesis approach to design and animate fires in desired shapes and motions. At the preprocessing stage, our system simulates a set of basis fires under specific simulation configurations and ...
Node Culling Multi-Hit BVH Traversal
(The Eurographics Association, 2016)
We introduce node culling multi-hit BVH traversal to enable faster multi-hit ray tracing in a bounding volume hierarchy (BVH). Existing, widely used ray tracing engines expose API features that enable implementation of ...
Parallel BTF Compression with Multi-Level Vector Quantization in OpenCL
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)
Bidirectional Texture Function (BTF) as an effective visual fidelity representation of surface appearance is becoming more and more widely used. In this paper we report on contributions to BTF data compression for multi-level ...
Proposed Enhancements to the X3D Geospatial Component
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)
The Geospatial Component of the X3D Standard suffers from some deficiencies that prevent its wider adoption. This paper addresses two of these deficiencies. The first problem is that in order to reduce spatial jitter content ...
MBVH Child Node Sorting for Fast Occlusion Test
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)
Optimal BVH layout differs among ray types. To accelerate shadow rays, the use of a specialized traversal order, optionally with an additional data structure has been proposed. In this paper we show how sorting child nodes ...
A Model-Based Approach to Image Relighting with a Potential for Real-Time Implementation
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)
Image relighting is a very unique special visual effect which promises to have many important practical applications. Image relighting is essentially the process of, given one or more images of some scene, computing what ...
Non-Sampled Anti-Aliasing
(The Eurographics Association, 2013)
In this paper we present a parallel method for high-quality edge anti-aliasing in rasterization. In contrast to traditional graphics hardware methods, which rely on massive oversampling to combat aliasing issues, we evaluate ...
Bent Normals and Cones in Screen-space
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)
Ambient occlusion (AO) is a popular technique for real-time as well as offline rendering. One of its benefits is a gain in efficiency due to the fact that occlusion and shading are decoupled which results in an average ...
Physically-Based Character Skinning
(The Eurographics Association, 2013)
In this paper we present a novel multi-layer model for physically-based character skinning. In contrast to geometric approaches which are commonly used in the field of character skinning, physically-based methods can ...
