A Full-Wave Reference Simulator for Computing Surface Reflectance

Computing light reflection from rough surfaces is an important topic in computer graphics. Reflection models developed based on geometric optics fail to capture wave effects such as diffraction and interference, while existing models based on physical opti ...

The Canopy Pavilion: A lightweight shading structure using a deployable auxetic linkage membrane

Mark Pauly, Dieter Dietz, Florin Isvoranu, Arthur François Blanc, Tian Chen, Etienne Bouleau

We present the Canopy Pavilion, a lightweight shading structure for a social gathering space. The shading surface is realized as a tensioned auxetic linkage membrane, composed of two double-curved anticlastic layers separated by a compression pole. The mem ...

Sketch2Mesh: Reconstructing and Editing 3D Shapes from Sketches

Pascal Fua, Benoît Alain René Guillard, Edoardo Remelli, Pierre Mathieu Yvernay

Reconstructing 3D shape from 2D sketches has long been an open problem because the sketches only provide very sparse and ambiguous information. In this paper, we use an encoder/decoder architecture for the sketch to mesh translation. When integrated into a ...

Specular Manifold Sampling for Rendering High-Frequency Caustics and Glints

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Tizian Lucien Zeltner

Scattering from specular surfaces produces complex optical effects that are frequently encountered in realistic scenes: intricate caustics due to focused reflection, multiple refraction, and high-frequency glints from specular microstructure. Yet, despite ...

2d-3d sculpture paintings

Sabine Süsstrunk, Roger Hersch, Mahmut Sami Arpa

We disclose a method for synthesizing by computer an artwork where 2D and 3D contents are integrated within a same composition. Such an artwork creates plausible effects for the viewers by showing a different relationship between 2D and 3D at each viewing ...
