- Panel: From University Lab to Movie Screen and Back Again: How Does Research Change Production Tools, and How Do Production Needs Influence Academic Research?
How and when do academic research ideas make their way into feature animation and visual effects production facilities? What kinds of graphics research ideas have made good production tools, and how are they transformed by practical experience and needs? What pressing production issues should be considered in academic circles? To what extent is the industry using standardized tools, which might be slowing adoption of new techniques? How are intellectual property issues resolved? How could academia and industry work together more closely to bridge the gaps? Panelists from academia and production explore these and other issues in this vital relationship.

Time-Varying Textures: Definition, Acquisition, and Synthesis
A new class of textures with simple algorithms for synthesis and controllability: Time-varying textures, in which appearance evolves over time. A database of these textures is being created.

Efficient Magnification of Bi-Level Textures
Standard tri-linear filtering blurs road signs and similar items excessively. We use a single-channel MIP map of small size and an efficient pixel shader to significantly improve bi-level textures.

Real-Time Image-Based Control of Skin Melanin Texture
A novel process to control skin melanin texture over a continuous range. The process is implemented on graphics hardware and can achieve real-time processing for live video streams.

Boneless Motion Reconstruction
A new automated technique for character animation from motion-capture data that does not require global information (skeleton) and can be applied directly to animating mesh models.

Knowledge-Based Modeling of Laser-Scanned Trees
A new method that uses knowledge about tree structures and allometric theory to produce full polygonal models of range-scanned trees, without suffering from the inherent incompleteness of such data.

Interaction Capture and Synthesis
Capture and reuse of interaction is improved by measuring both forces and motion. Assuming that captured motion emulated impedance-based control, the technique computes compliances from capture data and retargets via simulation.
