A Survey of Shading Models for Real-time Rendering
نویسنده
چکیده
This article presents a survey of popular shading models used in 3D computer graphics. Each model is discussed on the basis of an hardware-accelerated implementation that runs on typical consumergrade graphics boards. The discussion is focused on interactive realtime applications, where – besides realism – computational costs, scalability, and easily tweakable parameters are important factors. Furthermore, an attempt is made to incorporate the strengths of some of the discussed shading models into a new one. Special attention has been paid to the aforementioned factors to make the model particularly suitable for real-time applications such as video games.

A Method of Shading and Shadowing in Image-Based Rendering
This paper presents a method to generate dynamic shading of image-based objects without geometric models. Since conventional rendering techniques cannot be used to render the shading of this type of objects, image processing operation, such as interpolation or combination of image data, is performed. However, the variation of the shading of objects is not linear. Therefore, complicated processi...
متن کاملReal-Time Animated Stippling
Stippling is an artistic rendering technique where shading and texture is given by placing points or stipples on the canvas until the desired darkness is achieved. Computergenerated stippling has focused on producing high quality 2D renditions for print media, while stippling of 3D models in animations has received little attention. After describing current advances in stippling for print media...
متن کاملReal-Time Expressive Rendering of City Models
City models have become central elements for visually communicating spatial information related to urban areas and have manifold applications. Our real-time non-photorealistic rendering technique aims at abstract, comprehensible, and vivid drawings of assemblies of polygonal 3D urban objects. It takes into account related principles in cartography, cognition, and nonphotorealism. Technically, t...
متن کاملThe Lit Sphere: A Model for Capturing NPR Shading from Art
While traditional graphics techniques provide for the realistic display of three-dimensional objects, these methods often lack the flexibility to emulate expressive effects found in the works of artists such as Michelangelo and Cezanne. We introduce a technique for capturing custom artistic shading models from sampled art work. Our goal is to allow users to easily generate shading models which ...
متن کاملMathematical Approximation for Real-Time Lighting Rendering Through Participating Media
Many shading models are able to provide realistic rendering of lighting effects under various atmospheric conditions but computational times are often expensive. This paper proposes a method to render lighting effects within participating media in real-time on a graphics workstation. It consists of mathematical approximations based on a re-formulation of the light transport equation considering...
