Visualization of molecular dynamics via ray-tracing and animation in a vectorized environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Scientific visualization methodologies are being utilized increasingly in attempts to understand physical phenomena via mathematical and simulation model results. Presented herein are the results of a visualization project which produced a vectorized, high-resolution, raytraced animation of the dynamics of a protein molecule. The resulting animation was recorded on 35-mm film, with a resolution of 1024 X 1024 pixels with 24 color bits. Run-time statistics were also collected which relate image generation parameter ranges and interdependencies.

Combining light animation with obscurances for glossy environments
Obscurances is a powerful technique that approximates indirect global illumination in a much faster way than classic methods as radiosity or path tracing. In this method, the local environment of a point or a patch is sampled to estimate the amount of occlusion that surrounds it. Fine effects as color reflection can be added and visually pleasant rendering of corners and soft shadows are easily...

متن کاملMultidimensional illumination functions for visualization of complex 3D environments
This paper presents a new view-independent, energy equilibrium method for determining the light distributed in a complex 3D environment consisting of surfaces with general re ectance properties. The method does not depend on discretisation of directions or discretisation of surfaces to di erential elements. Hence, it is a signi cant improvement over the earlier complete view-indepedent method w...
متن کاملImmersive Visualization of Room Acoustics
Visualization of sound propagation inside rooms is one of the main purposes of room acoustic simulations. Visualization is often applied in teaching, but also consultants need visualization to understand better the propagation of sound waves in complex cases. Traditionally, propagation paths of sound rays or image sources (representing reflections) have been applied in visualization. In additio...
متن کاملMultidimensional Shape Modeling in Multimedia Applications
An approach is proposed to represent functionally defined multidimensional shapes as multimedia objects. A multimedia object can be described using 2D/3D world coordinates, visual, audio, haptic and other "multimedia coordinates". We introduce a space mapping between geometric coordinates and multimedia coordinates. The approach is supported by the interactive modeling system which integrates h...
