Effect of the exponential parameters on Perlin noise. The left image uses c = 150 and s = . 98 while the right uses c = 125 and s = . 93 (both images use four harmonics).
An example of a lightweight client geometry versus a dense server geometry. In both cases the geometry represents a gall bladder for use in surgical simulations.
Examples of a cloud volume lit by the gradient method. The light location is specified by the bright pink dot in the left image. In the right image, the light is above and to the left of the volume.
A reservoir visualization web-application, allowing for loading and navigating massive datasets on demand. The GUI is automatically generated by the framework.
(Left) A virtual model of a statue rendered with diffuse environment map and a ceramic skin texture. (Right) A virtual model of an angel rendered with glossy environment map and a gold skin texture. Both models were rendered with our augmented reality system nearly real-time ( ∼ 17fps).
3D rendered image showing three copies of a cartoon cow. The one on the left has a mirror surface, and the one on the right uses a transparent glass material. The outlines of the cows and the shadows are smooth with no blockiness or angular defects, and the reflection looks quite realistic, but the transparency does not look convincing, and the lighting in the shadowed areas of the cows is not quite realistic.
3D rendered image showing three copies of a cartoon cow. The one on the left has a mirror surface, and the one on the right uses a transparent glass material. The outlines of the cows and the shadows are smooth with no blockiness or angular defects. There are a few speckles of white pixels, but far fewer than in the low-quality image. The reflection, transparency, and lighting look realistic.
3D rendered image showing three copies of a cartoon cow. The one on the left has a metalic surface, and the one on the right uses a transparent glass material. The cow in the center appears made of glazed porcelain. The cows are standing on a wooden table. Lights and other background details from a cafe environment are reflected in the slightly glossy table and the cows.
