Stereo rendering of rain in real-time

چکیده
The rendering of photorealistic rain has been previously studied for monoscopic viewing. We extend the monoscopic statistical rain models to simulate the behavior and distribution of falling rain for stereo viewing. Our goal is to be able to render in real-time frame rates. In this investigation we ignore the complex issues of scene illumination and concentrate on the parameters that produce a realistic rain distribution. Using the concept of retinal persistence we render a visible falling raindrop as a linear streak. To speed rendering we use pre-computed images of such rain streaks. Rain streak positions for the leftand right-eye views are created by generating random numbers that depend on the view volume of the scene. We permit interactive but controlled modification of rain parameters such as density and wind gusts. We compare our approach to the use of existing 2D-3D conversion methods. The results demonstrate that using commercial 2D-3D converters are not sufficient in producing realistic stereo rain effects. Future research will concentrate on including complex lighting interactions.

متن کاملRealistic real-time rain rendering
Real-time rendering of virtual weather conditions has been investigated in many papers. Inserting fog or snow in a scene is rather straightforward. Rain is one of the most encountered natural phenomena, but its rendering often lacks realism. In this paper, we propose a realistic real-time rain rendering method using programmable graphics hardware. In order to simulate the refraction of the scen...

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 transparency and non-static fluid-like behavior of fire. It is well known that, in general, methods that are effective for monos...
متن کاملReal-time image-based rendering for stereo views of vegetation
Rendering of detailed vegetation for real-time applications has always been difficult because of the high polygon count in 3D models. Generating correctly warped images for nonplanar projection surfaces often requires even higher degrees of tessellation. Generating left and right eye views for stereo would further reduce the frame rate since information for one eye view cannot be used to redraw...
