For the next STORM seminar, Mathias Paulin will give a presentation titled : Learning how to sample the path space

Abstract

Monte-Carlo methods for light transport simulation rely on efficient sampling of the path-space. In this seminar, we will recall how the light transport simulation problem could be formulated into a Monte Carlo estimator of the esperance of a random variable defined in the path space.…

For the next STORM seminar, Olivier Hachette will give a presentation titled : Joint Optimization latest results

Abstract

In this talk, Olivier will explain his pipeline for optimization of joint in the Implicit Skinning method, show the latest results and discuss of current limitations and possible improvements.

This seminar will take place on Friday 16/10 at 12:30pm in room Salle des Thèses at IRIT.…

For the next STORM seminar, David Vanderhaeghe will give a presentation titled : Overview of the Structures project

Abstract

The project Structures: hierarchical motion representation for stylized rendering is a resarch project funded by the ANR (ANR-19-CE38-0009-01). Our approach is a combination of novel computer graphics techniques with a research and creation approach where artists, computer graphics scientists and art scientists merge their abilities and working approaches to produce new knowledge and techniques.I…

For the next STORM seminar, Chems-Eddine Himeur proposes a math session

Abstract

In this seminar, I will present some maths I have been working on as a part of the mesh decimation project. The goal is to do some correction and evaluation, in order to check if the logic is correct.…

For the next STORM seminar, François Desrichard will give a presentation titled : Shadow Layers for Participating Media

Abstract

Global Illumination Shadow Layers is a technique to extract shadows inside separate images during rendering. These layers can then be used by compositing artists to carry out image-space edits. For now, only surface objects are supported by the method; I will present its generalization to participating media.…

For the next STORM seminar, Hugo Rens will give a presentation titled : Caching path tracing in volumes

Abstract

The Monte Carlo simulation of light transport in volumes in extremely costly, as we expect a smooth result from a process which is relatively erratic and random. This usually requires a lot of samples.…

For the next STORM webinar, Nicolas Mellado will present the SIGGRAPH paper in which he participated as co-autor: Code Replicability in Computer Graphics.

Abstract Being able to duplicate published research results is an important process of conducting research whether to build upon these findings or to compare with them. This process is called “replicability” when using the original authors’artifacts (e.g.,…

For the next STORM seminar, I will give a presentation titled : Visibility in global illumination and real-time.

Abstract In real-time rendering of global illumination, indirect shadows are a difficult challenge. When using virtual point light-based methods, visibility means being able to calculate the visibility between any point in a 3D scene and hundreds of lights.…

For the next STORM webinar, Loïc Barthe will give a presentation titled : Implicit Decals

Abstract While 3D scalar fields are commonly used in the geometric modeling and animation of 3D objects, they receive less attention in there application in 2D. They may however be useful for the animation of 2D objects, as decals, when contact deformation are desired.…

For the next STORM webinar, Florian Canezin will give a presentation on the work he has done on the team. He might do something like a recap of the 3 years that he have been in STORM team as research engineer.
