Abstract
Achieving realism in rendered images at real-time frame rates is an
elusive goal, posing many challenges and comprising various aspects. Inthis talk, we describe our work on some of them. First, real-time soft shadows are addressed, discussing occlusion bitmasks to correctly deal with overlapping occluders, as well as smooth quality variation across screen to locally adapt computational efforts. Second, aiming at resolution-independent rendering of curved surfaces, our flexible and efficient CudaTess framework for adaptive tessellation is presented. Third, noting that human perception should be taken into account, we cover the rapid computation of related measures, enabling their on-the-fly usage during rendering, as well as predicting visual artifacts like popping. The talk concludes with a brief outlook on possible future directions.
