Real-Time Volumetric Caustics with Projected Light Beams
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a method for the visualization of volumetric caustics in single-scattering participating media. The caustics beams are generated from a projected grid in light’s image space, making the solution independent from the geometric complexity of generators. The caustic volumes are extruded in the geometry shader and accumulated into the final volumetric effect.

Real-Time Caustics in Dynamic Scenes with Multiple Directional Lights
We present a real-time GPU caustics rendering technique in dynamic scenes under multiple directional lights taking into account light occlusion. Our technique renders caustics cast on receiver objects as well as volumetric caustics. We precompute caustic patterns of caustic objects for several directional lights and store them in caustic images. During the rendering, we interpolate the precompu...
متن کاملAn interactive method for refractive water caustics rendering using color and depth textures
Realistic rendering of underwater scenes is one of the most anticipated research topics in computer graphics. Caustics are the important component enhancing the realism of this kind of scenes. Unfortunately, rendering caustics is a time consuming task. As a result, most existing algorithms cannot handle this at interactive rate. In recent years, volumetric texture based rendering algorithms hav...
متن کاملReal-time rendering of approximate caustics under environment illumination
We present a real-time GPU caustics rendering technique for dynamic scenes under environment illumination taking into account light occlusion. The dynamic scenes consist of caustic objects (reflective and/or refractive objects which produce caustics) and receiver objects (non-reflective and nonrefractive), that can be translated and rotated. As the light source, we consider environment illumina...
متن کاملReal-Time Caustics
We present a new algorithm to render caustics. The algorithm discretizes the specular surfaces into sample points. Each of the sample points is treated as a pinhole camera that projects an image of the incoming light onto the diffuse receiver surfaces. Anti-aliasing is performed by considering the local surface curvature at the sample points to filter the projected images. The algorithm can be ...
متن کاملReal-Time Rendering of Water in Computer Graphics
The simulation and rendering of realistic looking water is a very difficult task in computer graphics, due to the fact that everybody knows how it should behave and look like. This work will focus on rendering realistic looking water in real time. The simulation of water will not be described. Therefore this paper can be seen as a survey of current rendering methods for water bodies. Though sim...
