Participating media are frequent in real-world scenes, whether they contain milk, fruit juice,
oil, or muddy water in a river or the ocean. Incoming light interacts with these participating …

The detailed glinty appearance from complex surface microstructures enhances the level of
realism but is both-and time-consuming to render, especially when viewed from far away …

Many materials, such as sand, rice, wheat, or other kinds of seeds, consist of numerous
individual grains that determine the visual appearance of these materials. When generating …

Bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) are pervasively used in computer
graphics to produce realistic physically-based appearance. In recent years, several works …

This paper enhances the voxel-to-voxel radiance shooting, propagation, and scattering
algorithm of Max 20. It reduces the memory requirements by storing the radiance only on the …

There is a great demand for visualizing natural atmospheric clouds in a realtime
environment. However, the challenge is maintaining the cloud visualization system …

Efficiently simulating the full range of light effects in arbitrary input scenes that contain
participating media is a difficult task. Unified points, beams, and paths (UPBP) is an …
