The physically based simulation of clothes in virtual environments is a highly demanding problem. It involves both modeling the internal material properties of the textile and the interaction with the surrounding scene. ...

Bounding volume hierarchies (BVH) are essential for efficient ray tracing. In time-constrained situations such as real-time or large model visualization, fast construction of BVHs usually compromises hierarchy quality, ...

The complexity of polygonal models still grows faster than the ability of the graphics hardware to render them in real-time. A common way to deal with such models is to use multiple levels of detail (LODs). These can be ...

In this paper, we introduce a modified Morse potential as an alternative to the existing spring models within a massively parallel extended Position Based Dynamics (XPBD) algorithm. To date, stretching is one of the most ...

The shear-warp algorithm for volume rendering is among the fastest volume rendering algorithms. It is an objectorder algorithm, based on the idea of the factorization of the view matrix into a 3D shear and a 2D warp ...

We propose PaTraCo (Parallel Transparent Computation), a framework for developing parallel applications for single host or ad-hoc compute network environments incorporating a multitude of different kinds of compute devices ...

This paper presents an analytical model for parallel volume rendering of large datasets using GPU-based clusters. The model is focused on the parallel volume rendering and compositing stages and predicts their performance ...

Particle advection is the fundamental kernel behind most vector field visualization methods. Yet, the efficient parallel computation of large amounts of particle traces remains challenging. This is exacerbated by the variety ...
