The POP Buffer: Rapid Progressive Clustering by Geometry Quantization
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
Within this paper, we present a novel, straightforward progressive encoding scheme for general triangle soups, which is particularly well-suited for mobile and Web-based environments due to its minimal requirements on the ...
CAVAST: The Crows Animation, Visualization, and Simulation Testbed
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)
Simulation, animation and rendering of crowds has become an important part of real-time applications such as videogames. Virtual environments achieve higher realism when being populated by virtual crowds as opposed to ...
Visual Language Generalization for Procedural Modeling of Buildings
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)
Procedural modeling has become the accepted standard for the creation of detailed large scenes, in particular urban landscapes. With the introduction of visual languages there has been a huge leap forward in terms of ...
Generating Coherent Ray Directions in Path Tracing
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)
The quality of the images produced by a global illumination rendering engine is highly connected to the number of paths that are randomly generated from the camera to the light sources. Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) ...
A Procedural Modeling System for the Creation of Huge Models
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)
This paper presents a new general purpose procedural geometrical modeling system. It is focused on providing flexibility, modularity and scalability. Furthermore, it is taylored to manage huge geometric models, with millions ...
Path Tracing on Massively Parallel Neuromorphic Hardware
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)
Ray tracing on parallel hardware has recently benefit from significant advances in the graphics hardware and associated software tools. Despite this, the SIMD nature of graphics card architectures is only able to perform ...
Light Clustering for Dynamic Image Based Lighting
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)
High Dynamic Range (HDR) imagery has made it possible to relight virtual objects accurately with the captured lighting. This technique, called Image Based Lighting (IBL), is a commonly used to render scenes using real-world ...
Boundary-Aware Extinction Mapping
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
We introduce Boundary-Aware Extinction Maps for interactive rendering of massive heterogeneous volumetric datasets. Our approach is based on the projection of the extinction along light rays into a boundary-aware function ...
A Survey on Development Tools for Mobile Augmented Reality
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)
Augmented Reality (AR) applications have become more popular beyond the research laboratory due to recent technological breakthroughs in computer hardware and mobile devices. Users are starting to interact with virtual ...
Bringing Direct Local Control to Interactive Visual Editing of Procedural Buildings
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)
This paper presents a new system to add direct and persistent local control to the visual editing of rules for procedural buildings, avoiding a combinatorial explosion of grammar rules. In this paper we follow the ideas ...
