Volumetric clouds play a crucial role in creating realistic, dynamic, and immersive virtual outdoor environments. However, rendering volumetric clouds in real-time presents a significant computational challenge on end-user ...

Achieving realism in modern games requires the integration of participating media effects, such as fog, dust, and smoke. However, due to the complex nature of scattering and partial occlusions within these media, real-time ...

Even though stochastic methods and hardware supported ray tracing are increasingly used for computing direct illumination, the efficient real-time rendering of dynamic area light sources still forms a challenge. In this ...
