Realtime Shading of Folded Surfaces

  • Conference paper
Advances in Modelling, Animation and Rendering

Abstract

In this paper we present a new, simple, and efficient way to illuminate folded surfaces with extended light sources in realtime including shadows. In a preprocessing step we compute the parts of the surrounding environment that are visible from a set of points on the surface and represent this information in a binary visibility map.
