Transfer Functions on a Logarithmic Scale for Volume Rendering
Manual opacity transfer function editing for volume rendering can be a difficult and counter-intuitive process. This paper proposes a logarithmically scaled editor, and argues tha...

Object Representation using 1D Displacement Mapping
In this paper, we propose a new method for rendering image-based objects. An object is decomposed into a set of 1D displacement textures in a preprocessing stage. During rendering...

A Hybrid Physical/Device-Space Approach for Spatio-Temporally Coherent Interactive Texture Advection on Curved Surfaces
We propose a novel approach for a dense texture-based visualization of vector fields on curved surfaces. Our texture advection mechanism relies on a Lagrangian particle tracing th...

Decoupling BRDFs from Surface Mesostructures
We present a technique for the easy acquisition of realistic materials and mesostructures, without acquiring the actual BRDF. The method uses the observation that under certain ci...
