For the next STORM seminar, David Vanderhaeghe will animate a reading group about : Coherent Mark-based Stylization of 3D Scenes at the Compositing Stage

Abstract from the paperWe present a novel temporally coherent stylized rendering technique working entirely at the compositing stage. We first generate a distribution of 3D anchor points using an implicit grid based on the local object positions stored in a G-buffer, hence following object motion.…

For the next STORM seminar, Johanna Delanoy will give a presentation titled : Outils digitaux pour la création visuelle: utiliser la perception pour faciliter le processus créatif. This seminar will be presented in French.

Résumé

Les artistes s’appuient de plus en plus sur le digital dans leurs outils de création, que ce soit pour la création professionnelle (film, animation, design d’objet) ou amateur.…

For the next STORM seminar, Olivier Hachette will give a presentation titled : Joint Optimization in Implicit Skinning

Abstract

In this talk, Olivier will review skinning methods for animation, more precisely Implicit Skinning and show the latest result of the joint optimization.

This seminar will take place online on Friday 12/03 at 12:30pm.(If…

For the next STORM seminar, Chems-Eddine will give a presentation titled :Point cloud edge detection network

Abstract

I’ll talk about PCEDNet, and the network side of point cloud analysis, the paper and what we learned from the experiment.

This seminar will take place online on Friday 05/03 at 12:30pm.(If you want to attend the seminar, do not hesitate to ask for the zoom link.)…

For the next STORM seminar, Nicolas Barroso will give a presentation titled :Hierarchical motion representation for stylized rendering

Abstract

Animation movies show great media of artistic expression, allowing artists to convey powerful narrations, while not being limited to the existing range of shapes and motions. Unfortunately, they are significantly tedious and time consuming to produce.…

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

Abstract

This seminar is a follow-up on a precedent seminar that talked about our ongoing work to view, in the context of volumetric rendering, some bounded participating medium as a filter, taking an incident radiance field and producing an exitant radiance field, that would correspond to the energy scattered by the volume.…

For the next STORM seminar, Thibault Lejemble will give a presentation titled : Differential properties estimation in 3D point clouds

Abstract

In the context of 3D numerical acquisition, a point cloud is a common discrete representation of surface that is obtained when scanning an object by photogrammetry or using Lidar systems for instance.…

For the next STORM seminar, François Desrichard will give a presentation titled : A High-Level Overview of Path Guiding

AbstractIn this seminar, I will present Path Guiding, a Monte Carlo global illumination algorithm which has recently gained traction in production. After a few considerations on the related Path Tracing algorithm, I will begin with the Practical Path Guiding formulation of 2017.…

For the next STORM seminar, Loïc Barthe will animate a reading group about : Non-linear sphere tracing for rendering deformed signed distance fields

Abstract from the paperSigned distance fields (SDFs) are a powerful implicit representation for modeling solids, volumes and surfaces. Their infinite resolution, controllable continuity and robust constructive solid geometry operations, coupled with smooth blending, enable powerful and intuitive sculpting tools for creating complex SDF models.…

For the next STORM seminar, Nicolas Mellado will animate a reading group about :  Monte Carlo Geometry Processing: A Grid-Free Approach to PDE-Based Methods on Volumetric Domains(The Siggraph presentation may be a good way to discover the paper)Abstract from the paperThis paper explores how core problems in PDE-based geometry processing can be efficiently and reliably solved via grid-free Monte Carlo methods.…
