We demonstrate that it is possible to perform face-related computer vision in the wild using
synthetic data alone. The community has long enjoyed the benefits of synthesizing training …

Thoroughly revised, this third edition focuses on modern techniques used to generate
synthetic three-dimensional images in a fraction of a second. With the advent of …

We introduce a new hair modeling method that uses a dual representation of classical hair
strands and 3D Gaussians to produce accurate and realistic strand-based reconstructions …

The world is full of materials with interesting small-scale structure: a green pasture
consisting of millions of individual blades of grass, a scratched and partially rusted metallic …

We investigate the use of neural fields for modelling diverse mesoscale structures, such as
fur, fabric and grass. Instead of using classical graphics primitives to model the structure, we …

Walt Disney Animation Studios has transitioned to path-traced global illumination as part of
a progression of brute-force physically based rendering in the name of artist efficiency. To …

We introduce CT2Hair, a fully automatic framework for creating high-fidelity 3D hair models
that are suitable for use in downstream graphics applications. Our approach utilizes real …

We, humans, are entering into a virtual era and indeed want to bring animals to the virtual
world as well for companion. Yet, computer-generated (CGI) furry animals are limited by …

High-fidelity 3D assets with materials composed of fibers (including hair), complex layered
material shaders, or fine scattering geometry are critical in high-end realistic rendering …

Path tracing is one of several techniques to render photorealistic images by simulating the
physics of light propagation within a scene. The roots of path tracing are outside of computer …
