Multilinear Motion Synthesis with Level-of-Detail Controls
Interactive animation systems often use a level-of-detail (LOD) control to reduce the computational cost by eliminating unperceivable details of the scene. Most methods employ a m...

Precomputed Visibility Cuts for Interactive Relighting with Dynamic BRDFs
This paper presents a novel PRT-based method that uses precomputed visibility cuts for interactive relighting with all-frequency environment maps and arbitrary dynamic BRDFs. Our ...

Fogshop: Real-Time Design and Rendering of Inhomogeneous, Single-Scattering Media
We describe a new, analytic approximation to the airlight integral from scattering media whose density is modeled as a sum of Gaussians. The approximation supports real-time rende...

Extending Catmull-Clark Subdivision and PCCM with Polar Structures
We complete and bring together two pairs of surface constructions that use polynomial pieces of degree (3,3) to associate a smooth surface with a mesh. The two pairs complement ea...

Genus Oblivious Cross Parameterization: Robust Topological Management of Inter-Surface Maps
We consider the problem of generating a map between two triangulated meshes, M and M’, with arbitrary and possibly differing genus. This problem has rarely been tackled in its g...
