Photorealism

Thomas Schiffer, Marcel Lancelle

Content

Today computer graphics is able to produce images with an amazing degree of realism for various branches of industry (computer games, movies, ...). This lecture discusses state-of-the-art techniques of photorealistic computer graphics and deals with the following questions:

  • How does your favourite computer game create nice, good looking pictures?
  • Which techniques are used to create highly realistic renderings in industry?
  • What are ray tracing, radiosity and photon mapping?
  • What are the foundations of state-of-the-art algorithms and what are their limitations?
