Do you see good attenuation? • Dobashi [2000] , Dobashi [2002] • Shaft of Light
Should it be more naturally jittered? • Dobashi [2000] , Dobashi [2002] • Shaft of Light
Another problem (Hoffman 2003) • Works only in far view points. • No consideration for dense aerosol. • No attenuation. Where are particles? • Close view point • challenging
My Contribution • Good attenuation effect for shafts of light • Result : Later • No work for natural attenuation where each particle works as a luminaire. • Bo Sun’s Airlight model(Siggraph 2005) not suited for this. • Our Particle Radiance Method

Why this method? • This is ‘Multiple Scattering’ • Dense fog exhibit strong multiple light scattering • Mark Harris [2001] • Can you call it multiple scattering? You are just computing lighting effect from one particle in the unit space. • ‘Just’ one? Most significant particle! (Proof?) • This model well suits our goal, too! • The particle effects. See how particle-based.
Hey, but you are still just using one sample?That is not going to work! • If based on a well-defined probability function Plausible Grundland [2005]

Why? • Well attenuated based on the distance. • And the distance is based on probability. • Random distance, still overally based on probability. • That probability represents the air we are breathing!
Each particle as a luminaire again • The Sun is not the only light source. • Each particle becomes a light! Object Eye
How do we make this model? • No over exaggeration of the luminaire intensity • Use the surface radiance model from Bo Sun[2005] • We modified the model to :
Limitation and Future Work • No Specularity
