Scattering in participating media, such as fog or haze, generates volumetric lighting effects known as crepuscular or god rays. Rendering such effects greatly enhances the realism...
The ability to represent non-height-field mesostructure details is of great importance for rendering complex surface patterns, such as weave and multilayer structures. Currently,...
We present an unbiased method for generating caustic lighting using importance sampled Path Tracing with Caustic Forecasting. Our technique is part of a straightforward rendering ...
We present a physically based method for modeling and animating fire. Our method is suitable for both smooth (laminar) and turbulent flames, and it can be used to animate the burn...
