Research into the methods and techniques used in simulating crowds has developed
extensively within the last few years, particularly in the areas of video games and film …

Clouds play an important role in enhancing the realism of outdoor scenes in computer
graphics (CG). Realistic cloud generation is a challenging task, which entails processes …

Clouds are a ubiquitous, awe-inspiring, and ever-changing feature of the outdoors. They are
an integral factor in Earth's weather systems, and a strong indicator of weather patterns and …

We describe a method that permits the high performance simulation of fluid phenomena
such as smoke, with high-level control for the artist. Our key primitives are vortex filament …

Smoke rendering is a standard technique for flow visualization. Most approaches are based
on a volumetric, par ticle based, or image based representation of the smoke. This paper …

We present a real-time algorithm called compensated ray marching for rendering of smoke
under dynamic low-frequency environment lighting. Our approach is based on a …

We propose an algorithm for the real time realistic simulation of multiple anisotropic
scattering of light in a volume. Contrary to previous real-time methods we account for all …

The complex interplay of a number of physical and meteorological phenomena makes
simulating clouds a challenging and open research problem. We explore a physically …

Graphics processing units (GPUs) have been revolutionizing the way computer graphics
and visualization are practiced. Driven by the computer-games industry and its demand for …

Rendering of atmospheric bodies involves modeling the complex interaction of light
throughout the highly scattering medium of water and air particles. Scattering by these …
