About a year ago, we decided to invest some time in improving our shading model and
embrace a more physically based material workflow. This was driven partly by a desire to …

While traditional graphics techniques provide for the realistic display of three-dimensional
objects, these methods often lack the flexibility to emulate expressive effects found in the …

Physically based shading is increasingly important in both film and game production. By
adhering to physically based, energy-conserving shading models, one can easily create …

For decades, animated cartoons and movie special effects have factored the rendering of a
scene into layers that are updated independently and composed in the final display. We …

Traditional toon shading uses a 1D texture that describes how tone varies with surface
orientation relative to a given light source. In this paper we describe two extensions to the …

Over the years, there have been two main branches of computer graphics image-synthesis
research; one focused on interactivity, the other on image quality. Procedural shading is a …

The visual appearance of an object can be disguised by projecting virtual shading as if
overwriting the material. However, conventional projection-mapping methods depend on …

Programmable shading is a common technique for production animation, but interactive
programmable shading is not yet widely available. We support interactive programmable …

With fast 3D graphics becoming more and more available even on low end platforms, the
focus in hardware-accelerated rendering is beginning to shift towards higher quality …

This paper presents and investigates Clustered Shading for deferred and forward rendering.
In Clustered Shading, view samples with similar properties (eg 3D-position and/or normal) …
