The modeling and rendering of hair in Computer Graphics have seen much progress in the last few years. However, modeling and rendering hair aging, visually seen as the loss of pigments, have not attracted the same attention. ...

The first part of the course is theoretical, and introduces the finite element method trough interactive Jupyter notebooks. It also covers recent advancements toward an integrated pipeline, considering meshing and element ...

The effective integration of local collision avoidance with global path planning becomes a necessity when multi-agent systems need to be simulated in complex cluttered environments. This work presents our first results ...

Creating high-level structured 3D models of real-world indoor scenes from captured data is a fundamental task which has important applications in many fields. Given the complexity and variability of interior environments ...

The outset of realistic rendering is a desire to reproduce the appearance of the real world. Rendering techniques therefore operate at a scale corresponding to the size of objects that we observe with our naked eyes. At ...

In movie production, lighting is commonly used to redirect attention or to set the mood in a scene. The detailed editing of complex lighting phenomena, however, is as tedious as it is important, especially with dynamic ...

Convolutional neural networks were recently employed to fully reconstruct fluid simulation data from a set of reduced parameters. However, since (de-)convolutions traditionally trained with supervised l1-loss functions do ...

We present a method for improving batched ray traversal as was presented by Pharr et al. [PKGH97]. We propose to use conservative proxy geometry to more accurately determine whether a ray has a possibility of hitting any ...

This paper investigates a first order generalization of signed distance fields. We show that we can improve accuracy and storage efficiency by incorporating the spatial derivatives of the signed distance function into the ...

We present a novel real-time tool for sewing together 2D patterns, enabling quick assembly of visually plausible, interactively animated garments for virtual characters. The process is assisted by ad-hoc visual hints and ...
