Realistic Real-Time Rendering of Fire in a Production System: Feasibility Study Thesis Proposal
نویسندگان
چکیده
The thesis presents an effort at developing a robust, interactive framework for rendering 3-D fire in real-time in a production environment. Many techniques of rendering fire in non real-time exist and are constantly employed by the movie industry. Many of the systems developed for rendering fire in offline mode directly influenced and inspired real-time fire rendering, including this thesis. Macro-level behavior of fire is characterized by wind fields, temperature and moving sources and is currently processed on CPU while micro-level behavior like turbulence, flickering, shape is created on graphics hardware. This framework must support two-way interaction with fire, i.e. not only fire is influenced by the environment but also the environment can receive input from fire via collision detection. It must provide a set of tools for level designers to wield complete artistic and behavioral control over fire as part of the scene. The resulting system must be able to scale well, to use as few processor cycles as possible, and efficiently integrate into an existing production environment. The focus in this work is on testing the feasibility of rendering fire volumetrically within the constraints of a real 3D engine production system. Performance statistics must be collected and the concepts presented in previous work on volumetric fire rendering must be tested and the feasibility of achieving interactive frame rates within a 3D engine framework must be assessed.

ROSE, BENJAMIN MICHAEL. Real-time Photorealistic Stereoscopic Rendering of Fire. (Under the direction of Dr. David McAllister.) We propose a method for real-time photorealistic stereo rendering of the natural phenomenon of fire. Applications include the use of virtual reality in fire fighting, military training, and entertainment. Rendering fire in real-time presents a challenge because of the ...
متن کاملFeasibility Study of Real-time and Automated Monitoring of Iranian Rivers using 50-kHz Fluvial Acoustic Tomography System
Acoustic Tomography (AT) technique is an innovative method for real-time river monitoring. In this study, not only the accuracy of flow velocity measurement using 50 kHz AT system which is appropriate for narrow rivers (most Iranian rivers) is evaluated, but also its performance is compared with 30 kHz one which is used in wide rivers. The comparison results showed that the velocity resolutions...
متن کاملRealistic 2D Fire in Real-Time
We have reached our goal of implementing a computationally cheap algorithm for realtime rendering of realistic two-dimensional fire. The fire is simulated using computational fluid dynamics, vorticity confinement, and combustion modelling and visualized using black-body radiation. Small rotationally homogenous fires like torches and candles viewed in front are the best candidates when using thi...
