final project: PBRT+

Assigned: 2006/12/14
Proposal: 2007/1/4
Due: 2007/01/25

Project description

In this project, you are free to implement existing or novel algorithms to extend pbrt to produce a realistic image of a scene or object. For inspiration, you can either look at the results of Stanford's rendering competition, internet ray tracing competition or SIGGRAPH papers of recent years. I list some papers as options if you do not have a clear idea in your mind. Please notice that the ultimate goal is to synthesize a realistic image. Hence, even if you choose to implement a paper or two, please create a scene to demonstrate your result clearly. If you want to do real-time rendering instead, it is fine as well.

Proposal

Please send me your proposal by the end of Jan. 4. You can work in pairs if you want, but your results must justify your team size. In the proposal, please specify your topic, what program or algorithm you plan to implement and references if any. It would help if you can attach some reference images you attempt to simulate.

Submission

You have to turn in every source file you have modified or created and a html report. The report could describe how you create your scene and image. It is fine to import other's objects, such as those available online, in your scene. For the format of the report, please refer to the reports of Stanford's rendering competition for examples. In addition, you have to create an artifact image using your own version of extended pbrt.
