Physically-Based Realistic Fire Rendering

چکیده
Accurately rendering fires is a challenging problem due to the various subtle ways in which the electromagnetic waves interact with this complex participating medium. We present a new method for physically-based rendering of flames from detailed simulations of flame dynamics which accounts for their unique characteristics. Instead of relying on ad-hoc models, we build on fundamental molecular physics to compute the spectrally dependent absorption, emission and scattering properties of the various chemical compounds found in the fire. Combined with a model of the refractive process, and with tone-mapping techniques simulating the visual adaptation of a human observer, we are able to generate highly realistic renderings of various types of flames, including colorful flames containing chemical species with very characteristic spectral properties.

Fire pattern analysis and synthesis using EigenFires and motion transitions
We introduce novel approaches of intuitive and easy-to-use realistic fire animation, starting from real-life fire by imagebased techniques and statistical analysis. The results can be utilized as a pre-rendered sequence of images in video games, motion graphics, and cinematic visual effects. Instead of physics-based simulation, we employ an example-based principal component analysis and introdu...
متن کاملApproximating the Fire Flicker Effect Using Local Dynamic Radiance Maps
Realistic fire and the flicker effect is a complicated process to simulate in realtime and little work has been done to simulate this complicated illumination effect in realtime. Fire is not a directionally uniform source of light but varies in intensity not only with time but also with direction. Most realtime applications use a standard point light source model for local illumination effects ...

Smoke is a leading cause of death in fire. To minimize the potential harm from the smoke hazards in the course of a fire, a rational virtual reality (VR)-based fire training simulator taking full account of the various aspects of smoke hazards has been developed and is described herein. In this simulator, a visualization technique based on volume rendering and fire dynamics data has been especi...

This paper presents a new approach to shading realistic leaves at high frame rates. The proposed physically based translucency model allows the accurate simulation of subsurface scattering in leaves while accounting for the leaf micro-structure. This approach is based in the local frame of the leaf, so it can be instantiated to any number of leaves without needing to generate new data. Besides ...
