Extracting Microfacet-based BRDF Parameters from Arbitrary Materials with Power Iterations
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
We introduce a novel fitting procedure that takes as input an arbitrary material, possibly anisotropic, and automatically converts it to a microfacet BRDF. Our algorithm is based on the property that the distribution of ...
Path-space Motion Estimation and Decomposition for Robust Animation Filtering
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
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 ...
Stochastic Soft Shadow Mapping
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
In this paper, we extend the concept of pre-filtered shadow mapping to stochastic rasterization, enabling real-time rendering of soft shadows from planar area lights. Most existing soft shadow mapping methods lose important ...
Physically Meaningful Rendering using Tristimulus Colours
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
In photorealistic image synthesis the radiative transfer equation is often not solved by simulating every wavelength of light, but instead by computing tristimulus transport, for instance using sRGB primaries as a basis. ...
Unifying Color and Texture Transfer for Predictive Appearance Manipulation
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
Recent color transfer methods use local information to learn the transformation from a source to an exemplar image, and then transfer this appearance change to a target image. These solutions achieve very successful results ...
ISHair: Importance Sampling for Hair Scattering
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
We present an importance sampling method for the bidirectional scattering distribution function (bsdf) of hair. Our method is based on the multi-lobe hair scattering model presented by Sadeghi et al. [SPJT10]. We reduce ...
Example-Based Fractured Appearance
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
A common weathering effect is the appearance of cracks due to material fractures. Previous exemplar-based aging and weathering methods have either reused images or sought to replicate observed patterns exactly. We introduce ...
Line-Sweep Ambient Obscurance
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
Screen-space ambient occlusion and obscurance have become established methods for rendering global illumi- nation effects in real-time applications. While they have seen a steady line of refinements, their computational ...
Pre-convolved Radiance Caching
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
The incident indirect light over a range of image pixels is often coherent. Two common approaches to exploit this inter-pixel coherence to improve rendering performance are Irradiance Caching and Radiance Caching. Both ...
An Area-Preserving Parametrization for Spherical Rectangles
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
We present an area-preserving parametrization for spherical rectangles which is an analytical function with domain in the unit rectangle [0;1]2 and range in a region included in the unit-radius sphere. The parametrization ...
