چکیده

We propose an approach to simulating and rendering physically based fluid effects in a VFX production environment using a client/server architecture that is practical for distributed simulation resources and that can be seamlessly integrated into commercial 3D animation packages. The fluid simulation implements smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). We extend the concept of surface particles by introducing blind particles that facilitate efficient direct raytracing of isosurfaces. We evaluate the performance of our approach with local simulation on CPUs and GPUs and distributed GPU simulation. We demonstrate the integration into the animation package 3ds Max and the VRay raytracer. The usability of the VFX production pipeline is assessed by a user study with VFX professionals and animation experts.

Screen-Space Ambient Occlusion by Unsharp Masking of the Depth Buffer

With the advent of the programmable graphics pipeline, it has become possible to move expensive rendering processes to the GPU for real-time computation. The demand for realistic real-time rendering in games has led to the creation of GPU shaders that approximate global illumination. Our project is an implementation of one such approximation known as screen-space ambient occlusion (SSAO).

Image-Space-Parallel Direct Volume Rendering on a Cluster of PCs

An image-space-parallel, ray-casting-based direct volume rendering algorithm is developed for rendering of unstructured data grids on distributed-memory parallel architectures. For efficiency in screen workload calculations, a graph-partitioning-based tetrahedral cell clustering technique is used. The main contribution of the work is at the proposed model, which formulates the screen partitioni...

Metallic foams characterization using X-ray microtomography

Abstact Due to their multi properties, metallic foams have become of major interest for both, basic research as well as industrial applications. In order to implement a thin modelling approach of fluid flows in such porous media, a three dimensional investigation of their internal structure is fundamental. An open-cell nickel foam is imaged using X-ray microtomography. The morphology of the foa...

A Comparison of Spatial Subdivision Algorithms for Sort-First Rendering

This paper describes and experimentally evaluates three adap-tive spatial subdivision heuristics for sort-rst parallel graphics rendering on distributed-memory multicomputers. In sort-rst rendering, image-space, or screen, is divided into regions. Each processor is assigned one or multiple regions to render. Primitives in the scene are redistributed among the processors according to region assi...

Texture Guided Realtime Painterly Rendering of Geometric Models

We present a real-time painterly rendering technique for geometric models. The painterly appearance and the impression of geometric detail is created by effectively rendering several brush strokes. Unlike existing techniques, we use the textures of the models to come up with the features and the positions of strokes in 3D object space. The strokes have fixed locations on the surfaces of the mod...
