Abstract

We present a new, physically plausible, real-time approach to compute directional occlusion for dynamic objects, lit with image based lighting. For this, we partition the hemisphere into multiple sectors and pre-convolve these into separate irradiance maps. At runtime the contributions of each sector are then individually occluded and summed together.

Real-time tone mapping – An evaluation of color-accurate methods for luminance compression

Recent advances in real-time rendering enable virtual production pipelines in a broad range of industries. These pipelines are based on a fast, latency-free handling in addition to the accurate appearance of results. This requires the use of high dynamic range rendering for photo-realistic results and a tone mapping operator for a matched display.

Acquisition and Validation of Spectral Ground Truth Data for Predictive Rendering of Rough Surfaces

Acquisition and Validation of Spectral Ground Truth Data for Predictive Rendering of Rough Surfaces

In this work, we acquired a set of precisely and spectrally resolved ground truth data. It consists of the precise description of a new developed reference scene including isotropic BRDFs of 24 color patches, as well as the reference measurements of all patches under 13 different angles inside the reference scene.

Do Textures and Global Illumination Influence the Perception of Redirected Walking Based on Translational Gain?

For locomotion in virtual environments (VE) the method of redirected walking (RDW) enables users to explore large virtual areas within a restricted physical space by (almost) natural walking. The trick behind this method is to manipulate the virtual camera in an user-undetectable manner that leads to a change of his movements. If the virtual camera is manipulated too strong then the user recognizes this manipulation and reacts accordingly. We studied the effect of human perception of RDW under the influence of the level of realism in rendering the virtual scene.
