    • Active Storytelling 

      Glassner, Andrew (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1999)

    • Adaptable Splatting for Irregular Volume Rendering 

      Wang, Wencheng; Wu, Enhua (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1999)
      By employment of a footprint table in conducting intensity integration, splatting method has been very successful in rendering regular data volumes. Recently, the method has also been extended to render irregular data ...

    • Adaptive Acquisition of Lumigraphs from Synthetic Scenes 

      Schirmacher, Hartmut; Heidrich, Wolfgang; Seidel, Hans-Peter (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1999)
      Light fields and Lumigraphs are capable of rendering scenes of arbitrary geometrical or illumination complexity in real time. They are thus interesting ways of interacting with both recorded real-world and high-quality ...

    • An Adaptive Method for Area Light Sources and Daylight in Ray Tracing 

      Zaninetti, Jacques; Boy, Pierre; Peroche, Bernard (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1999)
      This paper proposes an adaptive method for taking both (diffuse or not) planar area light sources and daylight into account in a ray tracing environment which separates the calculation of direct and indirect illumination. ...

    • Animating Sand, Mud, and Snow 

      Sumner, Robert W.; Oâ Brien, James F.; Hodgins, Jessica K. (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1999)
      Computer animations often lack the subtle environmental changes that should occur due to the actions of the characters. Squealing car tires usually leave no skid marks, airplanes rarely leave jet trails in the sky, and ...

    • Capturing and Re-Using Rendition Styles for Non-Photorealistic Rendering 

      Hamel, J.; Strothotte, T. (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1999)
      Rendering high-quality non-photorealistic images of a given geometric model is often associated with a considerable amount of effort on the part of a user to fine-tune the rendition. In this paper we introduce a method and ...

    • Compact Metallic Reflectance Models 

      Neumann, Laszlo; Neumannn, Attila; Szirmay-Kalos, Laszlo (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1999)
      The paper presents simple, physically plausible, but not physically based reflectance models for metals and other specular materials. So far there has been no metallic BRDF model that is easy to compute, suitable for fast ...

    • Comprehensive Halftoning of 3D Scenes 

      Veryovka, O.; Buchanan, J. (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1999)
      The display of images on binary output hardware requires a halftoning step. Conventional halftoning algorithms approximate image values independently from the image content and often introduce artificial texture that ...

    • Computer-Generated Graphite Pencil Rendering of 3D Polygonal Models 

      Sousa, Mario Costa; Buchanan, John W. (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1999)
      Researchers in non-photorealistic rendering have investigated the display of three-dimensional worlds using various display models. In particular, recent work has focused on the modeling of traditional artistic media and ...

    • Creating Architectural Models from Images 

      Liebowitz, David; Criminisi, Antonio; Zisserman, Andrew (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1999)
      We present methods for creating 3D graphical models of scenes from a limited numbers of images, i.e. one or two, in situations where no scene co-ordinate measurements are available. The methods employ constraints available ...

    • Data Intermixing and Multi-volume Rendering 

      Cai, Wenli; Sakas, Georgios (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1999)
      The main difference between multi-volume rendering and mono-volume rendering is data intermixing. In this paper, we present three levels of data intermixing and their rendering pipelines in direct multi-volume rendering, ...
