Proceedings ArticleDOI
Ray tracing volume densities
James T. Kajiya,Brian Von Herzen +1 more
TL;DR: New algorithms to trace objects represented by densities within a volume grid, e.g. clouds, fog, flames, dust, particle systems, suitable for use in computer graphics are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ray tracing complex scenes
Timothy L. Kay,James T. Kajiya +1 more
TL;DR: A new algorithm for speeding up ray-object intersection calculations is presented and a new hierarchy traversal algorithm is presented which is efficient in the sense that objects along the ray are queried in an efficient order.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Ray tracing parametric patches
TL;DR: An algorithm that uses ray tracing techniques to display bivariate polynomial surface patches and may use complex coordinates for the (u, v)-parameters of the patches to make the computations more uniform.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anisotropic reflection models
TL;DR: A new set of lighting models derived from the questions of electromagnetism are presented that describe the reflection and refraction of light from surfaces which exhibit anisotropy---surfaces with preferred directions, which allows a new mapping technique, which is called frame mapping.
Journal ArticleDOI
New Techniques for Ray Tracing Procedurally Defined Objects
TL;DR: New algorithms for efficient ray tracing of three procedurally defined objects: fractal surfaces, prisms, and surfaces of revolution are presented.
