• BendyLights: Artistic Control of Direct Illumination by Curving Light Rays 

  Kerr, William B.; Pellacini, Fabio; Denning, Jonathan D. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)

  In computer cinematography, artists routinely use non-physical lighting models to achieve desired appearances. This paper presents BendyLights, a non-physical lighting model where light travels nonlinearly along splines, ...

• Visibility Editing For All-Frequency Shadow Design 

  Obert, Juraj; Pellacini, Fabio; Pattanaik, Sumanta (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)

  We present an approach for editing shadows in all-frequency lighting environments. To support artistic control, we propose to decouple shadowing from lighting and focus on providing intuitive controls to edit the former. ...

• Semi-Stochastic Tilings for Example-Based Texture Synthesis 

  Schloemer, Thomas; Deussen, Oliver (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)

  We investigate semi-stochastic tilings based on Wang or corner tiles for the real-time synthesis of example-based textures. In particular, we propose two new tiling approaches: (1) to replace stochastic tilings with ...

• Patch-based Texture Interpolation 

  Ruiters, Roland; Schnabel, Ruwen; Klein, Reinhard (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)

  In this paper, we present a novel exemplar-based technique for the interpolation between two textures that combines patch-based and statistical approaches. Motivated by the notion of texture as a largely local phenomenon, ...

• An Image-Based Approach for Stochastic Volumetric and Procedural Details 

  Gilet, G.; Dischler, J-M. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)

  Noisy volumetric details like clouds, grounds, plaster, bark, roughcast, etc. are frequently encountered in nature and bring an important contribution to the realism of outdoor scenes. We introduce a new interactive approach, ...

• On Floating-Point Normal Vectors 

  Meyer, Quirin; Suessmuth, Jochen; Sussner, Gerd; Stamminger, Marc; Greiner, Guenther (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)

  In this paper we analyze normal vector representations. We derive the error of the most widely used representation, namely 3D floating-point normal vectors. Based on this analysis, we show that, in theory, the discretization ...

• A New Ward BRDF Model with Bounded Albedo 

  Geisler-Moroder, David; Duer, Arne (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)

  Due to its realistic appearance, computational convenience, and efficient Monte Carlo sampling, Ward s anisotropic BRDF is widely used in computer graphics for modeling specular reflection. Incorporating the criticism that ...

• A Layered Particle-Based Fluid Model for Real-Time Rendering of Water 

  Bagar, Florian; Scherzer, Daniel; Wimmer, Michael (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)

  We present a physically based real-time water simulation and rendering method that brings volumetric foam to the real-time domain, significantly increasing the realism of dynamic fluids. We do this by combining a particle-based ...

• On the Effective Dimension of Light Transport 

  Lessig, Christian; Fiume, Eugene (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)

  Light transport is often characterized within a high-dimensional space although practitioners have long known that it commonly behaves as a much lower-dimensional phenomenon. We study the effective dimension of light ...

• Interactive Rendering of Non-Constant, Refractive Media Using the Ray Equations of Gradient-Index Optics 

  Cao, Chen; Ren, Zhong; Guo, Baining; Zhou, Kun (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)

  Existing algorithms can efficiently render refractive objects of constant refractive index. For a medium with a continuously varying index of refraction, most algorithms use the ray equation of geometric optics to compute ...

• Spectralization: Reconstructing spectra from sparse data 

  Rump, Martin; Klein, Reinhard (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)

  Traditional RGB reflectance and light data suffers from the problem of metamerism and is not suitable for rendering purposes where exact color reproduction under many different lighting conditions is needed. Nowadays many ...
