Computer graphics systems are capable of generating stunningly realistic images of objects
that have never physically existed. In order for computers to create these accurately detailed …

We present a method for generating surface crack patterns that appear in materials such as
mud, ceramic glaze, and glass. To model these phenomena, we build upon existing …

Interesting textures form on the surfaces of objects as the result of external chemical,
mechanical, and biological agents. Simulating these textures is necessary to generate …

Aging phenomena often play a key role in realistic rendering: excepting when the desired
result is specifically a brand-new virtual object, their absence can lead to non-realistic …

Weathering, an expression of degradation caused by rain and wind, is essential for
photorealistic computer graphics. One of the commonest targets of weathering is metal …

Weathering, referring to techniques for depicting outdoor objects as having suffered rain and
wind damage, has a long history of research, and many methods can be found in the …

For many years, appearance models in computer graphics focused on general models for
reflectance functions coupled with texture maps. Recently, it has been recognized that even …

Dans cette thèse, nous abordons le problème de la génération automatique de contenu
graphique avec un haut niveau de détails pour la génération de mondes. Dans cette quête …

This paper presents several methods to improve the existing algorithm of rendering batik
cracks. Experiments show that better visual features of batik cracks can be simulated and …

This paper describes a method allowing the automatic multi-texturing and simulation of
surface imperfections based on a cellular network. In this representation, networks of …
