Dry and Wet Fake Fur Rendering
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work presents a probabilistic lighting model for rendering of thin fur of mammals under environmental influence, particularly water. We have extended the technique known as Fakefur by adding a method for capturing the key characteristics of fur influenced by water. The system described in this work has a lower computational cost than typical resolvable fur methods, due not only to its probabilistic nature, but also to its GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) implementation, that provides realtime renderings of furry animals dry and wet.

Real-time Rendering of Wet Fur
Fur is present in most mammals which are common characters in both movies and video-games, and it is important to model and render fur both realistically and fast. In computer graphics, there are mainly two approaches to fur rendering. Using primitives such as lines or curves, and using textures containing sampled fur geometry. The former case is oriented towards realism and the latter case foc...
متن کاملCoping with Heat: Function of The Natal Coat of Cape Fur Seal (Arctocephalus Pusillus Pusillus) Pups in Maintaining Core Body Temperature
Cape fur seal (Arctocephalus pusillus) pups spend the first weeks of life exclusively or mainly ashore. They are exposed to intense solar radiation and high temperatures for long time periods, which results in temperatures up to at least 80°C on their black natal coat. To test the hypothesis that the natal coat has a crucial function in coping with these extreme conditions, we investigated the ...
متن کاملGrowth of the eye lens: I. Weight accumulation in multiple species
PURPOSE To examine the accumulation of wet and/or dry weight in the ocular lens as a function of age in different species. METHODS Wet weights and/or fixed dry weights were obtained from measurements in the author's laboratory and from the literature for over 14,000 lenses of known-ages, representing 130 different species. Various algorithms were tested to determine the most suitable for desc...
متن کاملManagement of massive point cloud data: wet and dry
Graphical renderings of "raw" point clouds can be visually attractive. When combined, the many individual points and their attributes convey spatial structures, especially when viewed in a fluent 3D fly-through and on a stereoscopic display. For such interactive visualization, a sufficiently responsive graphics update is essential. Where many software packages support simple rendering of smalle...
متن کاملReal-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...
