Making Grass and Fur Move

Real-time Fur Using GPU-based Raycasting

Rendering fur is an important area of computer graphics, because visually convincing fur is essential for realism of games and computer generated imagery. Our paper presents a novel technique for fur rendering based on a previously published method for grass rendering. The technique works by tracing a ray at each pixel through the fur volume with implicitly defined slices mapped with fur textur...

Prevalence of allergy to some inhalants among rhinitis patients in Malaysia.

This study was conducted to determine the seasonal prevalence of allergies to house dust, D. pteronyssinus, D. farinae, cat fur, dog hair, mixed moulds, mixed grass pollens and American cockroach. A total of 314 patients with clinically suspected allergic rhinitis was examined by prick test using commercial preparations of the above allergens. Total serum IgE of the patients was determined by a...

A Simple and Fast Technique for Fur Rendering

Recently an effective technique has been introduced in graphics bibliography for simulating and rendering properly shaded fur, grass or similar textures using multiple layers of concentric textures. This paper is a guide to simple step-by-step modeling of furry objects with shadows that can be directly implemented either in standard rendering software or in rendering APIs for real time applicat...

Animated Texels

Volumetric texturing is a method dedicated to modeling complex repetitive geometries, such as grass, fur or foliage, by storing a volumetric sample to be mapped on a surface. This representation is effective in a ray-tracing environment, giving images with low aliasing at low cost. We show here that it can be extended to get an easy way of animating complex repetitive geometries, like the effec...
