Real-Time Rendering
Overview
Photorealism and interactivity are historically two contrary goals of
computer graphics. However, due to the tremendous advance of graphics
processing units, real-time photorealisitc rendering become probable.
In this project, we explore possibilities to improve visual quality
of rendering under the constraint of rendering in real time.
In 2005, we proposed a
level-of-detail representation for bidirectional
texture function (BTF).
This representation does not only allow aliasing-free
rendering of BTF, but also provide an excellent compression rate. With this
presentation, we can render objects with very complex appearance models using
GPUs.
In 2006, we introduced
several extensions to triple-product relighting:
(1) the use of spherical wavelet, (2) the use of local-frame parameterization,
(3) the use of per-pixel shaing and (4) the use of visibility textures.
With these extensions, we can implement triple product relighting algorothm
using GPUs for real-time rendering of effects such as bump mapping,
anisotropic BRDF, spatially varying BRDF and complex shadows.
