An effective method to render realistic metallic surface in realtime application is proposed. The proposed method perturbs the normal vectors on the metallic surface to represent small scratches. In general, bump map or normal map method is used to gnerate normal vector perturbation. However, those methods do not show plausible light scattering when applied to anisotropic reflection surface. In order to express metallic surface reflectance, MDF-based BRDF is generally employed. Therefore, the simple normal perturbation does not produce satisfactory metal rendering results. The proposed method employs not only normal perturbation but also deformation of the microfacet distribution function(MDF) that determines the reflectance properties on the surface. The MDF deformation increases the realism of metal rendering. The proposed method can be easily implemented with GPU programs, and works well in realtime environments.

실시간 렌더링에서 Fur는 모피등과 같이 매우 복잡한 표면을 표현하는 문제로 가상세계의 사실감을 높이는데 매우 중요한 요소이다. 복잡한 Fur의 실시간 렌더링을 위하여 다수의 방법이 제안되어 왔으나, Fur를 사실처럼 보여지게 하는 측면에서, 기존의 정적인 표현으로서는 한계점이 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 중력 및 외력에 의한 시뮬레이션을 통한 Fur의 실시간 Animation 방법을 제안한다. 기본 구조는 모피의 볼륨을 구성하는 n개의 Shell과 Shell의 표현을 보강하는 Fin의 구조로 이루어져 있고, Shell과 Fin의 공유 Vertex 배열을 통해 이 두 가지 구조를 하나로 통합한다. 이 공유 Vertex 배열에 본 논문에서 제안하는 중력 및 외력에 의한 시뮬레이션을 적용하여 공유 Vertex 배열을 변형시킨다. 이 후 변형된 공유 Vertex배열을 기반으로 Rendering을 수행하게 된다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법을 사용하여, 정적인 Fur Rendering이 아닌 동적으로 움직이는 Fur Rendering을 사용 함 으로써 좀 더 높은 현실감을 느낄 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

In this paper, we propose the visual simulation system for virtual reality motion rider system. The visual simulation system can apply verity virtual reality system. This paper deals with programs on 3D automatic creation of terrain, road design, and a realtime rendering program for the virtual reality system. For the 3D automatic creation of terrain, DEM data and rectangular grid method are applied. We can make two different road object with the road design program. One of them includes road definition, and the other is obtained by using 'NURBS curve.' Visual simulation is consisted by additional modeling and real-time rendering. We can apply the programs made in this way to visual system of driving simulator.

In this paper, an efficient method is proposed to produce photorealistic images of woven fabrics without empirical data such as the measured BRDFs(bidirectional reflectance distribution functions). The proposed method is applicable both to ray tracer based offline renderers and to realtime applications such as games. The proposed method models the reflectance properties of woven fabric with alternating anisotropy and deformed MDF(microfacet distribution function). The procedural modeling of the yarn structure effectively and efficiently reproduces plausible rendering of woven fabric. The experimental results show the proposed method can be successfully applied to photorealistic rendering of diverse woven fabric materials even in interactive applications.

Recent terrain rendering applications such as 3D games and virtual reality, use GPU-based ray-casting method for rendering high-quality scenes in realtime. As the size of terrain dataset grows bigger, the rendering speed will be decreased by the increase of the number of texture samplings. To accelerate the conventional ray-casting, we propose an efficient ray casting method with subdivided bounding boxes which are based-on GPU quadtree traversal. The subdivision of the terrain's bounding box can reduce the empty spaces effectively. By performing the ray-casting with this compact bounding box, we can efficiently reduce computation with empty space skipping. Unlike the recent quadtree-based empty space skipping techniques which perform the tree traversal at each ray, our method traverses the tree only once per frame. Therefore, we can save much computational time.

This paper introduces the surface detailed painterly rendering using heightfield map. To do this, we implement painterly rendering using normal mapping and displacement mapping method by heightfield map. The suggested method can apply to the 3D visualization program and game engine for representing the surface detailed realtime rendering using GPU Programming.

Non-Photorealistic rendering techniques, such as toon rendering, can enhance the quality of hand-drawn cell-animation images greatly with less effort. For this reason, to on rendering is one of the popular techniques used in the cell-animation image production field. The existing toon rendering techniques, however, have not been effective enough for the real-time image processing that the techniques have not been adequate for some processes that needs immediate responses such as virtual-realities, or video games. This paper will suggest the real-time toon rendering to overcome the limits through real-time outline detection and phong shading. In addition, a effective result-image is created as adding a shadow and a execution time remains by real-time through fast shadow generation algorithm.

This paper presents a real-time fire simulation on the mobile phone using stable fluid animation techniques. Stable and fast fluid simulation methods are developed in PC and console games, but fluid simulation and interactive fluid models require too much system resources for applying on mobile environment. We studied and implemented physics-based models for fluids like fire and smoke effects using billboard and stable fluids simulation method on mobile 3D system. The mobile platform of our system is WIPI, which is the standard mobile platform in Korea, also we adopted NF3D API for our 3D programming API. We implemented real-time fire simulation and added it in mobile 3D game, "Rupee Story".

A Device performance analyzing method for appropriate level in hybrid rendering model is suggested. In recent research, we proposed a hybrid rendering model which is applying a proper shading method to each of polygons consisting of an object. The number of polygon for Gouraud shading and that for flat shading should be considered according to a current device performance and system environments. Therefore, this paper suggests the method to calculate automatically a proper resolution of a mesh of object and a proper level of mixture between Gouraud and a flat shading, considering a current device performance and a preference of end-user. The rendering model is so simple that it can be an efficient replacement to reduce a real-time rendering time since it provides automatically multi-level of rendering resolution to an executing environments. Moreover, it can be adopted in real-time adaptive service for 3D graphic contents like a graphic game under various device environments.

Ray tracing is one of the classical global illumination methods to generate a photo-realistic rendering image with various lighting effects such as reflection and refraction. However, there are some restrictions on real-time applications because of its computation load. In order to overcome these limitations, many researches of the ray tracing based on GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) have been presented up to now. In this paper, we implement the ray tracing algorithm by J. Purcell and combine it with two methods in order to improve the rendering performance for interactive applications. First, intersection points of the primary ray are determined efficiently using rasterization on graphics hardware. We then construct the acceleration structure of 3D objects to improve the rendering performance. There are few researches on a detail analysis of improved performance by these considerations in ray tracing rendering. We compare the rendering system with environment mapping based on GPU and implement the wireless remote rendering system. This system is useful for interactive applications such as the realtime composition, augmented reality and virtual reality.
