Mimicking the appearance of the real world is a longstanding goal of computer graphics,
with several important applications in the feature film, architecture and medical industries …

We propose a method of three-dimensional (3D) modeling of volumetric fluid phenomena
from sparse multi-view images (eg, only a single-view input or a pair of front-and side-view …

Although volumetric phenomena are important for realistic rendering and can even be a
crucial component in the image, the artistic control of the volume's appearance is …

Volumetric light scattering is an effect that is used increasingly in feature movies as well as
games. It enables rendering scenes more realistically and is often used as an artistic tool to …

Light scattering in participating media is a natural phenomenon that is increasingly featured
in movies and games, as it is visually pleasing and lends realism to a scene. In art, it may …

Rendering participating media plays an important role in animation or games, since it can
influence the atmosphere of scenes and generate some special lighting effects such as the …

This chapter focuses on the rendering of fluids represented by volumetric datasets.
Generally, volume data can be visualized by a volume rendering technique. The result …

The field of computer graphics deals with virtual representations of the real world. These can
be obtained either through reconstruction of a model from measurements, or by directly …

Participating media, eg, fog and smoke, play an important role in computer animation and
games. They influence the atmosphere of scenes by inducing some special lighting effects …

Synthetic volumetric fire and explosions are important visual effects used in many
applications such as computer games and movies. For these applications, artists are often …
