Monte Carlo Methods for Volumetric Light Transport Simulation
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
The wide adoption of path-tracing algorithms in high-end realistic rendering has stimulated many diverse research initiatives. In this paper we present a coherent survey of methods that utilize Monte Carlo integration for ...
Accelerating Sphere Tracing
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)
This paper presents two performance improvements on sphere tracing. First, a sphere tracing variant designed to take optimal step sizes near planar surfaces is proposed. We demonstrate how relaxation is used to make this ...
Voxel DAGs and Multiresolution Hierarchies: From Large-Scale Scenes to Pre-computed Shadows
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)
In this tutorial, we discuss voxel DAGs and multiresolution hierarchies, which are representations that can encode large volumes of data very efficiently. Despite a significant compression ration, an advantage of these ...
On the Pedagogy of Teaching Introductory Computer Graphics without Rendering APIs
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)
Teaching modern computer graphics programming has become increasingly challenging due to the advancement in the granularity of application programming interfaces (APIs). In this paper, we put forward a discussion on the ...
