This paper presents a novel interactive rendering technique for creating and editing shadings for man-made objects in technical 3D visualizations. In contrast to shading approaches that use intensities computed based on ...

This paper presents a novel compact factored subsurface scattering representation for optically thick, heterogeneous translucent materials. Our subsurface scattering representation is a combination of Tucker-based factorization ...

Inverse Kinematics (IK) calculates the joint angles of an articulated object so that its end effector can be positioned as desired. This paper presents an efficient IK method using a geometric solver based on the intersection ...

Visualisation of hair is an extremely complex problem within the field of Computer Graphics. Over the last 10 years, huge strides have been made in the area of physically-based hair rendering, giving rise to many applications ...

The ability to represent real-world objects digitally in a realistic manner is an indispensable tool for many applications. This paper proposes a method for acquiring, processing, representing, and rendering these digital ...

Physically-based animation techniques enable more realistic and accurate animation to be created. We present a GPU-based finite element (FE) simulation and interactive visualisation system for efficiently producing ...

Virtual cameras and virtual production techniques are an indispensable tool in blockbuster filmmaking but due to their integration into commercial motion-capture solutions, they are currently out-of-reach to low-budget and ...

We present an approach to efficiently reduce shadow map resolution while retaining high quality hard shadows. In the first step, we generate a list of sample points that are seen from the camera and then project these into ...

Ray tracing on parallel hardware has recently benefit from significant advances in the graphics hardware and associated software tools. Despite this, the SIMD nature of graphics card architectures is only able to perform ...

High Dynamic Range (HDR) imagery has made it possible to relight virtual objects accurately with the captured lighting. This technique, called Image Based Lighting (IBL), is a commonly used to render scenes using real-world ...
