Abstract:

In this talk we will describe our recent efforts on developing general, ray-traced volumetric representations for modeling complex volumetric materials in forward and inverse rendering applications, with applications to physics-based rendering and scene reconstruction. Volumetric heterogeneous materials are widespread in real-life in general, and humans in particular, with notable examples such as skin, cloth or hair. However, finding a good representation for such materials is still an open problem. During the talk, we will walk through the development of our ray-traced mixture-based approach for volumetric representations that provides a number of benefits with respect to the widely used voxel grids, discuss our choices, and show how our project grew from a small physics-based hair rendering project to a wider general framework for rendering and scene reconstruction.
