  Lai, Yu-Chi; Fan, Shao Hua; Chenney, Stephen; Dyer, Charcle (The Eurographics Association, 2007)

  This work presents a novel global illumination algorithm which concentrates computation on important light transport paths and automatically adjusts energy distributed area for each light transport path. We adapt statistical ...

• Soft Shadows by Ray Tracing Multilayer Transparent Shadow Maps 

  Xie, Feng; Tabellion, Eric; Pearce, Andrew (The Eurographics Association, 2007)

  We present a method for high quality soft shadows for area lights in cinematic lighting. The method is an extension of traditional shadow maps, so it has the advantage of image based shadow methods; the algorithm s complexity ...

• Physically Based Real-Time Translucency for Leaves 

  Habel, Ralf; Kusternig, Alexander; Wimmer, Michael (The Eurographics Association, 2007)

  This paper presents a new shading model for real-time rendering of plant leaves that reproduces all important attributes of a leaf and allows for a large number of leaves to be shaded. In particular, we use a physically ...

• Rendering Translucent Materials Using Photon Diffusion 

  Donner, Craig; Jensen, Henrik Wann (The Eurographics Association, 2007)

  We present a new algorithm for rendering translucent materials that combines photon tracing with diffusion. This combination makes it possible to efficiently render highly scattering translucent materials while accounting ...

• Procedural Editing of Bidirectional Texture Functions 

  Mueller, Gero; Sarlette, Ralf; Klein, Reinhard (The Eurographics Association, 2007)

• Rendering Discrete Random Media Using Precomputed Scattering Solutions 

  Moon, Jonathan T.; Walter, Bruce; Marschner, Stephen R. (The Eurographics Association, 2007)

  This paper addresses light transport through a discrete random medium, which we define as a volume filled with macroscopic scattering geometry generated by a random process. This formulation is more general than standard ...

  Weistroffer, R. Peter; Walcott, Kristen R.; Humphreys, Greg; Lawrence, Jason (The Eurographics Association, 2007)

  Recent progress in acquisition technology has increased the availability and quality of measured appearance data. Although representations based on dimensionality reduction provide the greatest fidelity to measured data, ...

  Ma, Wan-Chun; Hawkins, Tim; Peers, Pieter; Chabert, Charles-Felix; Weiss, Malte; Debevec, Paul (The Eurographics Association, 2007)

  We estimate surface normal maps of an object from either its diffuse or specular reflectance using four spherical gradient illumination patterns. In contrast to traditional photometric stereo, the spherical patterns allow ...
