Eikonal Rendering: View Renderer refEiko - View renderer “Eikonal Rendering: Efficient Light Transport in Refractive Objects”, Ivo Ihrke, Gernot Ziegler, Art Tevs, Christian Theobalt, Marcus Magnor, Hans-Peter Seidel
Overview: 2 main components System capable of Refractive Object Rendering: • Light Simulator (pre-process, ~10 secs) • View Renderer (real-time, 5-60 fps)
Renderer • Shader Model >= 3.0 GPU • Use OpenSceneGraph (v1.2) for the low level tasks, e.g. transparency sorting, mesh rendering, etc. • nrEngine: script handling, resource management, … • Volume Ray Casting
Scene Graph based rendering (depth and transparency sorting)
Renderer • Full HDR coloralong complete rendering pipeline • Post processing by PPUG (post-processing units graph) • Completely scriptable
Scene Representation • XML description of a complete scene • Supported objects: • Camera • Light • Shader • Texture • Model (Mesh) • Entity (Static, Voxel Volume) • Environment Map (CubeMap, PlaneMap, ShadowCubeMap) • Post Processing Unit
Scene graph Root Node Renderable Root Node Environment Map Entity Entity Entity Light Group Light 1 Light 2 Mesh (Geode) Mesh (Geode)
Volume rendering • Volume rendering is required for our approach • VoxelVolume class stays for an osg node handling volume rendering • VoxelVolumeDrawable derived from osg::Drawable, implements volume rendering by a shader program • Rendering by a proxy geometry (ray casting) • Box primitive (default) • Geode as a child-node
Post Processing Effects • Post processing by a so called PPU, post processing unit • PPUs are combined into a graph • Multiple inputs for each of PPU (osg::Texture) • Multiple outputs (MRT) are implemented, but not well tested ;-( • PPUG could contribute to osg as a new node kit
PP Effects (HDR bloom, Depth of Field, Motion Blur, [+ tone mapping])

Summary & Future work • Nice renderer for our approach • HDR rendering and scripting • Osg 2.x is supported, but not well tested • osgLua implementation required • Possible contribution to the community by developing a new node kit osgPPU • New SH4.0 features are in development, hence new contribution to osg will follow: Texture2DArray, GeometryProgram, …
