In this talk we present our workflow for the first feature length oil-painted animation movie Loving Vincent. The production involved more than 100 painters, which produced near 64.000 paintings.
We investigate the different challenges involved, such as finding adequate game controlling events, provide enough expressive freedom to musicians, correct playing speed and game complexity, and different artistic expression forms.
This paper is an introduction to the problem of 3D reconstruction. We discuss some of the problems and existing techniques for inexpensive creation of 3D models using photographs, with focus on large outdoor scenes.
In this paper, we present a material appearance transfer method, Transfer by Analogy, designed to infer surface detail and diffuse reflectance for textured surfaces like the present in building façades.
We propose a complete image-based process that facilitates recovery of both gross-scale geometry and local surface structure to create highly detailed 3D models of building façades from photographs
We present a quasi-automatic image-based building reconstruction system that recovers fully relightable models by approximating both albedo and sufficient textured surface detail to reproduce complex self-shadowing effects.
This thesis investigates the acquisition of high-quality models from images, using simple photographic equipment and modest user intervention. The main focus of this investigation is on approximating detailed local depth and appearance, obtained using a new image-based approach, and combining this with 3D geometry.
Using only a standard digital camera and a single view, we present a method for recovering models of predominantly diffuse textured surfaces that can be plausibly relit and viewed from any angle under any illumination.
During this project I integrated and compared different sampling methods for efficient Image Based Lighting. The project included implementation of an point-light sources approximation for IBL I also reviewed the state of the art in image based lighting.
