Towards Real-Time Photorealistic Rendering: Challenges and Solutions

Non-photorealistic rendering, offline and real-time techniques human computer interaction, learning environments smart (knowledge-based) graphics rendering image-text

Our approach to real time rendering of objects with com- plex appearance, like Japanese lacquer ware items, includes online fast calculation of sphere maps.. This widens the spec-

Figure 8: Using a standard shadow map results in hard shadows (left), add a penumbra map to get soft

We extend the traditional notion of texture maps to maintain persistent state information for a particular polygonal mesh, or section of mesh, which can then be used in future

Parallel volume rendering is one of the most efficient techniques to achieve real time visualization of large datasets by distributing the data and the rendering process over a

The basic idea for this type of light is to re-use the information stored in the orthographic depth maps: To test if there is any occluder be- tween a point p and a point l on the

The work by d’Eon and colleagues [DLE07] shows how texture-space diffusion [BL03] can be combined with translucent shadow maps [SD03] to create a very efficient, real-time

Real-time rendering of terrain data needs to address three major aspects: data representation, surface rendering, and level of detail techniques.. Traditionally, terrain
