    • GPUGI: Global Illumination Effects on the GPU 

      Szirmay-Kalos, Laszlo; Szecsi, Laszlo; Sbert, Mateu (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      In this tutorial we explain how global illumination rendering methods can be implemented on Shader Model 3.0 GPUs. These algorithms do not follow the conventional local illumination model of Di- rectX/OpenGL pipelines, but ...

    • Fast and Realistic Display of Clouds Using a Recording Matrix 

      Wu, Y.; Allgöwer, B.; Nüesch, D. (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      For volumetric cloud models, traditional ray tracing methods and graphics hardware acceleration methods can result in photorealistic images, but with considerably expensive costs. Hence, real-time rendering can be achieved ...

    • Dynamic Anisotropic Occlusion 

      Gong, Yi; Zhang, Yubo; Chen, Wei; Peng, Qunsheng (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      We present a new real-time shadow rendering approach whose kernel is a hierarchical disk-based approximation to the scene geometry. We show that this approximated representation greatly accelerates the visibility inquiry, ...

    • Camera Control in Computer Graphics 

      Christie, Marc; Olivier, Patrick (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      Progress in modeling, animation and rendering means that rich, high fidelity interactive virtual worlds are now commonplace. But as photographers and cinematographers know, achievement of the intended informational and ...

    • Rapid Interactive Modelling from Video with Graph Cuts 

      Hengel, Anton van den; Dick, Anthony; Thormählen, Thorsten; Ward, Ben; Torr, Philip H. S. (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      We present a method for generating a parameterised model of a scene from a set of images. The method is novel in that it uses information from several sources video, sparse 3D points and user input to fit models to a scene. ...

    • m-LOMA - a Mobile 3D Portal to Location-based Information 

      Nurminen, Antti (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      We present a novel application, a mobile 3D city map, with a capability to render dozens of textured buildings at interactive rates in desktop machines, PDA devices and mart phones. The system allows annotation of the ...

    • Teaching, Exploring, Learning Developing Tutorials for In-Class Teaching and Self-Learning 

      Beckhaus, Steffi; Blom, Kristopher J. (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      This paper presents an experience report on a novel approach for a course on intermediate and advanced computer graphics topics. The approach uses Teachlet Tutorials, a combination of traditional seminar type teaching with ...

    • Modeling Autumn Sceneries 

      Desbenoit, Brett; Galin, Eric; Akkouche, Samir; Grosjean, Jérome (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      This paper presents a system for modeling autumn leaves covering vegetation and monuments. We simulate the coloring and aging process by a stochastic model that represents the probability of evolution of a leaf according ...

    • Magical Mirrors 

      Michelis, D.; Send, H.; Resatsch, F.; Schildhauer, T. (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      This article describes the multi-media art installation MAGICAL MIRRORS with which the tradition of the mirror, as a medium of visual simulation, is carried over into the world of digital mediums. As theoretical framework, ...

    • Real Time Interactive Massive Model Visualization 

      Kasik, D.; Manocha, D.; Stephens, A.; Bruderlin, B.; Slusallek, P.; Gobbetti, E.; Correa, W.; Quilez, I. (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      Real-time interaction with complex models has always challenged interactive computer graphics. Such models can easily contain gigabytes of data. This tutorial covers state-of- the-art techniques that remove current memory ...

    • Lighting-Up Geometry: Accurate 3D Modelling of Museum Artifacts with a Torch and a Camera 

      Vogiatzis, G.; Hernández, C.; Cipolla, R. (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
