Renderings of animation sequences with physics-based Monte Carlo light transport simulations are exceedingly costly to generate frame-by-frame, yet much of this computation is highly redundant due to the strong coherence ...

We present our experiences with using an autocollimator to set up the surface reflectance measurement for both BRDF and BTF. Assuming the measured material appearance is put on a locally flat surface, the autocollimator ...

The employment of visual, auditory and tactile senses directly related to specific body limbs associated with task performance has been shown to give a person a perception of body ownership. However, there is much less ...

We present a framework for controlling physics-based bipeds in a simulated environment, based on a variety of reference motions. Unlike existing methods for control based on reference motions, our framework does not require ...

In the field of computer graphics, the simulation of the visual appearance of materials requires an accurate computation of the light transport equation. Consequently, material models need to take into account various ...

Because of the spatial separation of high performance compute resources and immersive visualization systems, their combined use requires remote visualization. Remote rendering incurs increased latency from user interaction ...

We present manifold next event estimation (MNEE), a specialised technique for Monte Carlo light transport simulation to render refractive caustics by connecting surfaces to light sources (next event estimation) across ...

We introduce a novel voxel-based algorithm that interactively simulates both diffuse and glossy single-bounce indirect illumination. Our algorithm generates high quality images similar to the reference solution while using ...

We introduce a novel and efficient simulation technique for generating physics-based skinning animations of skeleton-driven characters with full support for collision handling. Although physics-based approaches may use a ...

For hardware accelerated rendering, photon mapping is especially useful for simulating caustic lighting effects on non-Lambertian surfaces. However, an efficient hardware algorithm for the computation of the k nearest ...
