Contact Us Graphics Overview People Projects Overview We believe that interactive three-dimensional graphics and animation will be an important part of future user interfaces directed toward business, consumer, and entertainment applications. Our research addresses a wide range of topics in three-dimensional graphics and animation. Our projects include advanced rendering, modeling, and animation research. Rendering refers to the process of adding shadows and variations in color and shading to add realism to computer-based images. Modeling seeks to represent real-world and imaginary objects as either a set of mathematical expressions or as a set of instructions or algorithms. Animation puts such models into motion. Some of the most difficult challenges in producing three-dimensional (3-D) graphics have been in modeling, rendering and animating human figures and facial expressions. We are exploring the means to create and shade realistic human figures to be used in applications ranging from talking-head newscasters to video game characters. We seek to address the challenges involved in the high-computational cost of producing, transmitting, and displaying complex models by researching geometric compression and multiresolution representations. Highly detailed geometric models are often represented as complex triangle meshes, challenging rendering performance, transmission bandwidth, and storage capacities. Multiresolution representations allow for more efficient storage, transmission, and rendering of the meshes.

Public release date: 28-Jul-2005 E-mail Article Contact: Doug Ramsey dramsey@ucsd.edu University of California - San Diego California Institute researchers unveil computer graphics innovations at SIGGRAPH San Diego and Irving, CA, July 28, 2005 – Nearly a dozen researchers affiliated with the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) are headed north to Los Angeles to participate in SIGGRAPH 2005. The leading annual conference and expo about computer graphics and interactive techniques takes place July 31 to August 4 at the L.A. Convention Center. This year's event will attract a broad array of attendees, including faculty and students from UC Irvine, UC San Diego and other universities, as well as industry leaders and film-makers. Only 98 research papers were selected from 461 submissions. Four of the accepted papers were authored or co-authored by researchers in professor Henrik Wann Jensen's Computer Graphics Lab at UCSD and will be published in the Proceedings of ACM SIGGRAPH 2005. Jensen – a professor of Computer Science and Engineering in the Jacobs School of Engineering – co-authored three of the papers. "It is great that these papers got accepted for SIGGRAPH, which is the premier conference for computer graphics research," says Jensen. "The students have been working on these projects for a long time, and I am very happy that their hard work paid off."

home people information research ... search Real-Time Non-photorealistic Rendering Two views of Shaded Venus Project Overview The Nonphotorealistic Rendering Project's purpose is to use computers to produce images that appear to have been drawn by hand. Computers are often used for precise rendering, computer-aided-design, and three-dimensional rendering, but, as evidenced in the art world, high precision isn't always the best way to convey ideas. Sometimes a quick sketch needs to look hasty to signify that the idea is fresh from the mind. A polished rendering gives a sense of finality which can be misleading or even frightening in some situations where an immediate solution has not been sought. The "sketched" look is instantly recognized as being an indication of intent with room for change and possible errors. Our nonphotorealistic renderer can help make comprehensible but simple pictures of complicated objects by employing an economy of line. An important item to note is that this processing occurs in real-time because current nonphotorealistic rendering is primarily a batch process. This paper presents a real-time nonphotorealistic renderer that deliberately trades accuracy and detail for speed. Our renderer uses a method for determining visible lines and surfaces which is a modification of Appel's hidden-line algorithm, with improvements which are based on the topology of singular maps of a surface into the plane.

Practical Algorithms for 3D Computer Graphics by R. Stuart Ferguson published by A.K. Peters Ltd. Last Updated 09 November 2004 This is the Web site for the book Practical Algorithms for 3D Computer Graphics by Stuart Ferguson ISBN: 1-56881-154-3 List Price: $49 from A.K. Peters 552 pages. Paperback. This web page contains information on the Book Contents and a List of Corrections What is the Book About? Taken as a whole, the topics covered in this book will enable you to create a complete suite of programs for three-dimensional computer animation, modeling and image synthesis. It is about practical algorithms for each stage in the creative process. The text takes you from the construction of polygonal models of objects (real or imaginary) through rigid body animation into hierarchical character animation and finally down the rendering pipeline for the synthesis of realistic images of the models you build. The content of the book arises from a postgraduate course on computer graphics that I have given for many years and the experience of working on two comprehensive 3D animation and modeling application programs ( Envisage 3D and SoftFX ) for the personal computer in the 1990s. In that time the capabilities of both the hardware and software for creating computer graphics have increased almost unimaginably.

The BBC's Post Production Computer Graphic Design Section uses Silicon Graphics equipment to create a range of animation sequences within news bulletins - including the 1992 US Presidential Election coverage. Computer special effects have become associated with big budget feature films such as The Hunt for Red October, The Abyss and Terminator II. Yet everyday news and current affairs programmes also depend on advanced computer graphics technology for their presentation of events. Highly skilled teams have made an art out of mixing complex images, sounds and words to present information in compelling formats. The key to success is that such effects should integrate seamlessly with the news presentation when broadcast. That is certainly the view of the Post Production Computer Graphic Design Section of the British Broadcasting Corporation's (BBC) News and Current Affairs (NCA) section, which uses high powered visual computing systems from Silicon Graphics to stay ahead in this crucial aspect of broadcasting.

Graphics Books from the same publisher, in best-seller order: Morgan Kaufmann "Virtually all the books on building 3D game engines cover the basics: here's a polygon, here's a transformation matrix, here's a perspective projection, and so on. The problem is that you can't make a professional quality game with just the basics. This leaves a large gap between you and your goal of creating a great game engine. With this book, Dave is launching a huge boulder into the gap, helping you scamper to your destination." - Eric Yiskis , Lead Programmer, Oddworld Inhabitants 3D Game Engine Design is the first book to go beyond basic descriptions of algorithms and accurately demonstrate the complex engineering process required to design and build a real-time graphics engine to support physical realism. Faster algorithms will always win out over faster processors and assembly-language optimization techniques. Implementing those algorithms, however, can be a challenge for even experienced programmers.
