Many rendering phenomena can be modeled with partial coverage. These include flames,
smoke, hair, clouds, properly-filtered silhouettes, non-refractive glass, and special effects …

Compositing transparent surfaces rendered in an arbitrary order requires techniques for
order-independent transparency. Each surface color needs to be multiplied by the …

ABSTRACT A layered, filtered shadow mapping algorithm may be used for motion blurred
shadows. The algorithm is divided into two passes, namely a shadow pass and a lighting …

This paper studies the design and application of a novel visual attention model designed to
compute user's gaze position automatically, ie, without using a gaze-tracking system. The …

Translucent objects such as fog, clouds, smoke, glass, ice, and liquids are pervasive in
cinematic environments because they frame scenes in depth and create visually-compelling …

This paper presents a novel method for generating pixel-accurate shadows from point light-
sources in real-time. The new method is able to quickly cull pixels that are not in shadow …

Like variance shadow maps, the recently proposed moment shadow maps can be filtered
directly but they provide a substantially higher quality. We combine them with earlier …

In this paper, we introduce a novel technique for pre‐filtering multi‐layer shadow maps. The
occluders in the scene are stored as variable‐length lists of fragments for each texel. We …

Building upon previous works, we transfer the recently proposed moment shadow mapping
to three new applications. Like variance shadow maps and convolution shadow maps …

Rendering of realistic-looking hair is in general still too costly to do in real-time applications,
from simulating the physics to rendering the fine details required for it to look natural …
