본 논문에서는 옷감의 결이 보이는 정도의 자세함을 가지는 옷감의 표면 질감 모델을 제안한다. 촬영한 옷감 이미지에서 "Shape from Shading" 기법을 이용하여 표면의 노말맵과 반사 계수 맵을 추출하고, 이 맵을 짜깁기(tiling)하였을 때 연결자리(Seam)가 보이는 것을 방지하기 위하여 주파수 성분 분석에 의해 맵의 오류 성분을 제거한다. 이 방법을 통하여 다양한 종류의 옷감을 짧은 시간 안에 렌더링 할 수 있게 된다.

최근의 영화나 애니메이션에 자주 등장하는 디지털 인간 캐릭터의 제작에서 사실적인 피부 렌더링을 위하여 다양한 공학적, 예술적 접근이 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 사실적인 피부렌더링을 위해 subsurface illumination 테크닉을 이용한 쉐이더를 구현하고 아티스트들의 효율적인 제어를 위해 보다 직관적인 인터페이스를 제안하였다. 구현한 쉐이더는 3D 그래픽 응용 프로그램인 Maya의 플러그인 형태로 제작되었으며 기존의 전통적인 쉐이딩 인터페이스와의 조화를 고려하여 제안된 매개변수들을 확장 형태로 제공하였다.

This paper proposes a hybrid rendering method which combines pre-computed global illumination results and interactive local illumination techniques and thus could interactively produce photo-realistic visual effects for mobile entertainment applications. The proposed method uses the programmable shading capability of OpenGL, a de facto standard for computer graphics library so that it can be deployed in a real-world development environment. Also, it increases the rendering time by a negligible amount compared to normal rendering time since the pre-computed results are used as operands of plain arithmetic operations. Therefore it is expected to be applicable in practice for mobiles games which require real-time responsiveness to users.

The grass is one of important components that cover the wide surfaces in the application such as game or real time simulation. Actually, it not easy to render effectively numerous grasses that grow over the wide terrain. To solve the difficulty, we must find a solution to the two contradictions in terms : quality and calculation cost. As a solution to the above-mentioned task, in this paper, we propose an efficient method to represent the natural grasses by introducing fractal theory and instancing technique. Although the existing grass representation methods make use of a simple rule of applying a basic grass model repeatedly in rendering process, on the contrary we take advantage of the basic property of fractal's self-similarity and we devise a natural representation method suited to the given environment by introducing two important growth factors such as nature of terrain and quantity of light, and finally we apply a GPU-based shader instancing technique to rendering numerous grass models in real-time.

For realistic rendering volume to calculate the light effects as well as the shade is essential. In order to produce the high quality of the resulting image, it is necessary to represent a global illumination, and it should be considered an indirect effect of the direct impact and scattering of light. It requires a lot of resources in order to perform this operation and, in particular, is very expensive when large amounts of data to be rendered as a volume data is consumed. In this paper, we generate a scatterer template according to the physical laws for each material. Considering that each object having material property stores photons of the template based on the Lambert illumination model. When the volume rendering in this paper, using the photon is stored in the template, based on the voxel to be sampled within the examination volume occluded, and it represents the global illumination of the scattering. Because the materials produced by the template requires a less resource only if comprised of a complex material, a simple operation can be expressed within the scattering volume at a low cost through.

In the process of visualizing a point set representing a smooth manifold surface, global illumination techniques can be used to render a realistic scene with various effects of lighting. Thanks to the continuous demand for ray tracing and the development of graphics hardware, dedicated GPUs and programmable pipeline for ray tracing have been introduced in recent years. In this paper, real-time global illumination rendering is studied for a point-set model using ray-tracing GPUs. We apply the moving least-squares (MLS) method to approximate the point set to a smooth implicit surface and render it using global illumination by performing massive ray-intersection tests with the surface and generating shading effects at the intersection point. As a result, a complicated point-set scene consisting of more than 0.5M points can be generated in real-time.

In these days, a vehicle simulator is developed by using a VR(Virtual Reality) system. A VR system must provide a vehicle simulator with a natural interaction, a sufficient immersion and realistic images. To achieve this, it is important to provide a fast and uniform rendering performance regardless of the complexity of virtual worlds or the level of simulation. In this paper, modeling methods which offer an improved rendering performance for complex VR applications as 3D road model have been implemented and verified. The key idea of the methods is to reduce a load of VR system by means of LOD(Level of Detail), alpha blending texture mapping, texture mip-mapping and bilboard. Hence, in 3D road model where a simulation is complex or a scene is very large, the methods can provide uniform and acceptable frame rates. The VR system which is constructed with the methods has been experimented under the various application environments. It is confirmed that the proposed methods are effective and adequate to the VR system which associates with a vehicle simulator.

Although radiosity can represent diffuse reflections of the object surfaces by modeling energy exchange in 3D space, there are some restrictions for real-time applications because of its computation loads. Therefore, GPU(Graphics Processing Unit) based radiosity algorithms have been presented actively to improve its rendering performance. We implement the progressive refinement radiosity on GPU by G. Coombe in 3D scene that is constructed with HDR(High Dynamic Range) radiance map. This radiosity method can generate a photo-realistic rendering image in 3D space, where the synthetic objects were illuminated by the environmental light sources. In the simulation results, the rendering performance is analyzed according to the resolution of the texel in the environmental map and mipmaping. In addition, we compare the rendering results by our method with those by the incremental radiosity.
