We present a combined volume and surface rendering technique with global illumination
caching. Our approach uses volumetric path tracing to compute the global illumination …

Cozy model by Cem Yuksel [Wu et al. 2021];(c) a closed ribbon with 12 segments. Bottom …

We present a simple degree reduction technique for piecewise cubic polynomial splines,
converting them into piecewise quadratic splines that maintain the parameterization and C1 …

Rendering hair is a challenging problem for real-time applications. Besides complex
shading, the sheer amount of it poses a lot of problems, as a human scalp can have over …

The optical properties available for an object are most often fragmented and insufficient for
photorealistic rendering of the object. We propose a procedure for digitizing a translucent …

We present a new approach to ray tracing swept volumes along trajectories defined by cubic
Bézier curves. It performs at two-thirds of the speed of ray-triangle intersection, allowing …

We present a new approach to finding ray-cubic Bézier curve intersections by leveraging
recent achievements in polynomial studies. Compared with the state-of-the-art adaptive …

Hair and fur simulation has been a rapidly evolving technology in 3D computer animation in
the past few decades. As 3D animation has become accessible with more powerful …

Background. In order to increase the visual fidelity of characters in video games, strand-
based hair rendering within Unreal Engine 4 is explored in this thesis. Because of the …

A method is performed at an electronic device with one or more processors and a non-
transitory memory. The method includes obtaining hair curve data that represents a plurality …
