Material Space Texturing
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)Many objects have patterns that vary in appearance at different surface locations. We say that these are differences in materials, and we present a material-space approach for interactively designing such textures. At the ... -

Specular Effects on the GPU: State of the Art
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)This survey reviews algorithms that can render specular, i.e. mirror reflections, refractions, and caustics on the GPU. We establish a taxonomy of methods based on the three main different ways of representing the scene ... -
State of the Art in Ray Tracing Animated Scenes
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)Ray tracing has long been a method of choice for off-line rendering, but traditionally was too slow for interactive use. With faster hardware and algorithmic improvements this has recently changed, and real-time ray tracing ... -
A Time Model for Time-Varying Visualization
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)The analysis of unsteady phenomena is an important topic for scientific visualization. Several time-dependent visualization techniques exist, as well as solutions for dealing with the enormous size of time-varying data in ... -
Visualization of Multi-Variate Scientific Data
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)In this state-of-the-art report we discuss relevant research works related to the visualization of complex, multi-variate data. We discuss how different techniques take effect at specific stages of the visualization pipeline ...
