Predicting reflectance functions from complex surfaces
We describe a physically-based Monte Carlo technique for approximating bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) for a large class of geometries by directly simulat...

Data-dependent MLS for faithful surface approximation
In this paper we present a high-fidelity surface approximation technique that aims at a faithful reconstruction of piecewise-smooth surfaces from a scattered point set. The presen...

Real-time single scattering inside inhomogeneous materials
In this paper we propose a novel technique to perform real-time rendering of translucent inhomogeneous materials, one of the most well known problems of Computer Graphics. The deve...

Hierarchical Splatting of Scattered Data
Numerical particle simulations and astronomical observations create huge data sets containing uncorrelated 3D points of varying size. These data sets cannot be visualized interact...

Reconstruction of Tree Crown Shape from Scanned Data
Reconstruction of a real tree from scattered scanned points is a new challenge in virtual reality. Although many progresses are made on main branch structures and overall shape of ...
