Measuring and Modeling Complex 3-D Light Sources

This paper presents a method that, based on a field-theoretic approach to photometry, accurately and efficiently measures and models arbitrarily complex three-dimensional light sources. It allows the prediction of direct illuminance at any point on any surface anywhere within the surrounding 3-D space without requiring any knowledge of the geometry of the source or its distance from the surface...

SIGGRAPH 2001 COURSE 15 Visualizing Relativity

This course is intended for attendees with simultaneous interests in the concepts of relativistic physics and in the practical extension of computer graphics methods to relativity. The first half of the course will focus on how relativistic effects can be intuitively understood starting from extremely simple Euclidean 2D geometry. The concept of object vertices as world-lines moving in a space ...

Point - Based Computer Graphics SIGGRAPH 2004 Course Notes

This course introduces points as a powerful and versatile graphics primitive. Speakers present their latest concepts for the acquisition, representation, modeling, processing, and rendering of point sampled geometry along with applications and research directions. We describe algorithms and discuss current problems and limitations, covering important aspects of point based graphics.
