We describe a physically-based Monte Carlo technique for approximating bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) for a large class of geometries by directly simulat...

In conventional tomography, the interior of an object is reconstructed from tomographic projections such as X-ray or electron microscope images. All the current reconstruction met...
Complex luminaries and lamp geometries can greatly increase the realism of synthetic images. Unfortunately, the correct rendering of illumination from complex lamps requires costly...

We present an effective and easy-to-implement angle-based smoothing scheme for triangular, quadrilateral and tri-quad mixed meshes. For each mesh node our algorithm compares all t...
We present the concept of hierarchical instantiation for radiosity. This new method enables an efficient, yet accurate determination of the illumination in very large scenes, wher...
