Desxription from Leo Hourvitz site: http://www.stoneschool.com/Work/Siggraph/2004/index.html#RealTimeHairRendering Sketch: Practical Real-Time Hair Rendering and Shading  This sketch from ATI was about how the rendering Ruby's hair in their new "Ruby: The Double-Cross" demo. Frankly, I wasn't super-impressed with the hair in that demo (I think a lot of our Sims 2 hair looks better). The one thing that was kind of nice is the anisotropic hair shader they implemented, but in fact that still had it's limits because it caused them to use overscale hair follicles. Much of their sketch concerned an attempt to resolve polygon ordering; they hadn't thought of using the a-priori poly ordering we use on Sims 2 until the plane ride to the conference!

Real-Time Nonphotorealistic Rendering. Nonphotorealistic rendering (NPR) can help make comprehensible but simple pictures of complicated objects by employing an economy of line. But current nonphotorealistic rendering is primarily a batch process.

NVIDIA Research will present a collection of next-generation rendering techniques, including new directions in anti-aliasing, spectacular lighting, and shading languages.

The focus of this thesis is performing walkthroughs of urban environments in real-time. This encompasses the environment both inside and outside the building, whereby a user can traverse the external virtual world and then enter any building and move throughout the interior. While inside the building, the user can see the exterior world via any windows present. The transition from one environment to the other is transparent to the user. The 2D terrain file used as source data is converted and rendered in 3D. This 3D representation of the model can then be used for Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT) training. To help maintain the real-time response, new methods of visibility determination are used to lessen the overall polygon flow through the graphics pipeline. The radiosity lighting model is used for the walkthrough of building interiors

When we look at the world, we see objects, or more precisely, we perceive the ‘instant imaging’ of these objects which are actively interacting with the dynamic lighting environment. There are various practical reasons for us to simulate these lighting effects, especially at interactive frame rates. For example, 3D games, training and simulation, electronic commerce, and Hollywood are actively demanding for faster and better synthesizing systems. Many researchers study these problem, but only a few study glossy dynamic objects. We are considering this problem by reducing it to a couple of rather basic mathematical problems — efficiently computing multi-function product and product integral. By projecting operand functions into the transformed domain, and exploiting the orthogonal property of wavelet filters, we propose a novel Generalized Haar Integral Coefficient Theorem. Theoretical results enable us to develop a set of efficient algorithms to synthesize novel all-frequency lighting effects at interactive frame rates. We believe our approach can be leveraged to characterize the natural lighting process, such as in efficiently representing the intermediate light transport of ‘natural’ objects. The results can be further integrated into modern synthesizing systems to improve the quality of the simulated imaginaries. ©2007 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

We present a framework to interactively volume-render three-dimensional data cubes using distributed ray-casting and volume bricking over a cluster of workstations powered by one or more graphics processing units (GPUs) and a multi-core CPU. The main design target for this framework is to provide an in-core visualization solution able to provide three-dimensional interactive views of terabyte-sized data cubes. We tested the presented framework using a computing cluster comprising 64 nodes with a total of 128 GPUs. The framework proved to be scalable to render a 204 GB data cube with an average of 30 frames per second. Our performance analyses also compare between using NVIDIA Tesla 1060 and 2050 GPU architectures and the effect of increasing the visualization output resolution on the rendering performance. Although our initial focus, and the examples presented in this work, is volume rendering of spectral data cubes from radio astronomy, we contend that our approach has applicability to other disciplines where close to real-time volume rendering of terabyte-order 3D data sets is a requirement.

In this paper, we propose a real-time adaptive prediction method to calculate smooth and accurate haptic feedback in complex scenarios. Smooth haptic feedback is an important task for haptic rendering with complex virtual objects. However, commonly the update rate of the haptic rendering may drop down during multi-point contact in complex scenarios because high computational cost is required for collision detection and physically-based dynamic simulation. If the haptic rendering is done at a lower update rate, it may cause discontinuous or instable force/torque feedback. Therefore, to implement smooth and accurate haptic rendering, the update rate of force/torque calculation should be kept in a high and constant frequency. In the proposed method, the auto-regressive model with real-time coefficients update is proposed to predict interactive forces/torques during the physical simulation. In addition, we introduce a spline function to dynamically interpolate smooth forces/torques in haptic display according to the update rate of physical simulation. In the experiments, we show the feasibility of the proposed method and compare its performance with other methods and algorithms. The result shows that the proposed method can provide smooth and accurate haptic force feedback at a high update rate for complex scenarios.

This presentation covers the technical details for implementing anaglyph (red/cyan) stereographic images in real-time. Besides covering the basics of stereo photography, the talk also digs deep into the myriad of small issues that can mar stereographic images that are rendered in real-time for consumer display hardware.

Described is a set of algorithms for efficiently rendering a CSG- defined objective directly into a frame buffer without converting first to a boundary representation. The method requires only that the frame buffer contain sufficient memory to hold two color values, two z values, and three one-bit flags. The algorithm first converts the CSG tree to a normalized form that is analogous to the sum-of-products form for boolean switching functions. Expanding on results previously reported the authors, introduce 1) an improved algorithm for converting a CSG expression to sum-of-products form, 2) a technique for minimizing the tree using don't care conditions based on geometry, 3) the dynamic interleaving of the above two algorithms, allowing very efficient rendering for most CSG objects, 4) a method for extending the technique to non- convex primitives, and 5) an implementation of these ideas in an interactive CSG design system on Pixelplanes 4. In this system the designer directly manipulates the CSG structure while continuously viewing the color rendering of the object under design. It is believed these algorithms will attain similar speeds on many of the next generation high-performance graphics system that have frame buffers with many bits per pixel.
