An importance-driven radiosity algorithm
We present a new radiosi[y algorithm for efficiently computing global solutions with respect to a constrained set of views. Radiosi ties of directly visible surfaces are computed ...

Variational surface modeling
We present a new approachto interactive modeling of freeform surfaces. Instead of a fixed mesh of control points, the model presented to the user is that of an infinitely malleabl...

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