On-the-Fly Multi-Scale Infinite Texturing from Example

We present a framework for on-the-fly by-example non-periodic infinite texturing, relying on patches whose content is seamlessly changed at runtime. Multi-scale texturing is smartly integrated, as well as relief enhancement. We moreover propose an intuitive interactive tool for creating height maps from textures.

Anisotropic Spherical Gaussians

We present anisotropic Spherical Gaussians (ASGs), which are much more effective and efficient in representing anisotropic spherical functions than Spherical Gaussians (SGs). We have derived closed-form integral, product and convolution operators for ASGs. ASGs can be adapted in existing SG-based applications, benefitting their scalability in handling anisotropic effects.

GPU-based Out-of-Core Many-Lights Rendering

We present a GPU-based out-of-core many-lights rendering approach. To efficiently render global illumination effects in scenes with out-of-core geometry and lights, we formulate the data management as a graph traversal optimization problem and develop a GPU-based algorithm.

Linear Efficient Antialiased Displacement and Reflectance Mapping

We present Linear Efficient Antialiased Displacement and Reflectance (LEADR) mapping, a reflectance filtering technique for displacement mapped surfaces. Combined with an adaptive meshing scheme, it provides the very first seamless and GPU friendly multi-resolution surface representation for high quality rendering in real time.
