Bending the Light: Next generation anamorphic sculptures

This paper presents a new method for generating artworks that extends the classical anamorphic archetype to use freeform reflective and refractive media and 3D surfaces instead of images. The methodology uses a mix of raytracing and surface ...

• A new method to construct anamorphic sculptures using general optical media.
• Characterized the main problems arising in general anamorphosis.
• A simple system to allow the artist to create anamorphic art installations.
• We ...

We present new hardware-accelerated techniques for rendering surface light fields with opacity hulls that allow for interactive visualization of objects that have complex reflectance properties and elaborate geometrical details. The opacity hull is a ...

We present an overview of our recently developed systems pipeline for capture, reconstruction, modeling and rendering of real world scenes based on state-of-the-art high dynamic range video (HDRV). The reconstructed scene representation allows for photo-...
