haberj@mpi-sb.mpg.de

Pre-computed global-illumination solutions using graphics hardware to interactively render photometrically complex scenes. A visual-attention model guides corrective ray tracing. Resulting samples are splatted into framebuffer and cached for reprojection.


Real-Time Rendering of Populated Urban Environments

Complex urban environments are common in computer graphics applications, but they often look empty and liveless. This sketch proposes methods for real-time rendering of virtual cities populated by thousands of animated individuals.
