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.

Recent technological innovations of mobile hardware which make it possible to implement real-time 3D rendering effects under mobile environment have provided a potential to develop realistic mobile application programs. This paper presents platform independent, OpenGL ES based, real-time mobile rendering libraries, called DMGL for supporting high quality 3D rendering on handhold devices. The libraries allows the programmers who develops mobile graphics softwares to generate varying advanced real-time 3D graphics effects without great effort. Moreover, GPGPU-based libraries give a set of functions to solve complex equations for simulating natural phenomena such as smoke and fire, and to render the results in real-time.

Visual simulation technology is one of important constituents experienced directly by simulator users. Simulator users have a needs for more fast, realistic and intuitive visualization. Though hardwares such as computing power and visual equipment have been grown, the limits have been indicated in graphic rendering engine generally used in marine simulator up to now. This paper has focused on the review of applicability about graphic rendering engines for visual simulation. We had derived system requirements in visualization of tug-barge simulation, had surveyed graphic rendering engines as commercial and open source, and analyzed strengths and weakness of them.

This paper describes an implementation of virtual teeth modeling for a haptic dental simulation. The system allows dental students to practice dental procedures with realistic tactual feelings. The system requires fast and stable haptic rendering and volume modeling techniques working on the virtual tooth. In our implementation, a volumetric implicit surface is used for intuitive shape modification without topological constraints and haptic rendering. The volumetric implicit surface is generated from input geometric model by using a closest point transformation algorithm. And for visual rendering, we apply an adaptive polygonization method to convert volumetric teeth model to geometric model. We improve our previous system using new octree design to save memory requirement while increase the performance and visual quality.

BRDF (bidirectional reflectance distribution function) is critical in realistic simulation of material appearances since it models the directional characteristics of reflection of light. Although many BRDF models have been proposed so far, it is still not easy to find one specific model that could represent all the reflection properties of real materials such as generalized diffusion, off-specular reflection, Fresnel effect, and back scattering. In this paper, we compare three BRDF models including B-spline volume BRDF (BVB), Cook-Torrance, and Lafortune in their ability to represent the measured BRDF data for physically-based rendering. We show that B-spline volume BRDF surpass the others in quality of data fitting and rendering, especially for materials without specular reflections.

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.

Ray tracing-based rendering creates by far more realistic images than the traditional rasterization-based rendering. However, it is still burdensome when implemented for a Head-Mounted Display (HMD) system that demands a wide field of view and a high display refresh rate. Furthermore, for presenting high-quality images on the HMD screen, a sufficient number of ray sampling should be carried out per pixel to alleviate visually annoying spatial and temporal aliases. In this paper, we extend the recent selective foveated ray tracing technique by Kim et al. [1], and propose an improved real-time rendering technique that realizes the rendering effect of the classic Whitted-style ray tracing on the HMD system. In particular, by combining the ray tracing hardware-based acceleration technique and time-constrained rendering scheme, we show that fast HMD ray tracing is possible that is well suited to human visual systems.
