This paper proposes a modification of the filtered importance sampling (FIS) method, and improves the quality of virtual spherical Gaussian light (VSGL) based real-time glossy indirect illumination using this modification. ...

We present a system which can automatically generate a realistic garment model from two images of an existing garment. Without the requirement of tailoring expertise and tedious operation, our method takes the front and ...

Inferring the 3D pose of a character from a drawing is a non-trivial and under-constrained problem. Solving it may help automate various parts of an animation production pipeline such as pre-visualisation. In this paper, ...

In computer graphics, lighting plays an important role in the appearance of a scene. A change in the configuration of light sources can lead to different aesthetics in the final rendered image. Lighting design becomes ...

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 ...

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 ...

Indirect illumination is one of the most visually significant effects for a synthesized image. In order to render such effects at interactive rates, it is important to resolve the visibility between surfaces efficiently. ...

An evacuation plan helps people move away from an area or a building. To achieve a fast evacuation, we present an algorithm to compute the optimal route for each local region. The idea is to reduce congestion and to maximize ...

We present a novel method for realistic perception enhanced volume rendering. Compared with traditional lighting systems, that either tend to eliminate important local shapes and details in volume data or cannot offer ...

Deformation of skin and muscle is essential for bringing an animated character to life. This deformation is difficult to animate in a realistic fashion using traditional techniques because of the subtlety of the skin ...
