This is a very short paper about the non-photorealistic rendering in the NPR demo. The paper was written (in a hurry) for a seminar at my university. |
| Bachelor Thesis: Entwicklung eines Systems zur dynamischen Beleuchtung von 3D-Szenen (in German) | |
|---|---|
 |
This is my Bachelor Thesis. It describes the development of a system, called FireRenderer, for the dynamic lighting of 3d-scenes. FireRenderer supports animated volume light sources to simulate the lighting of a fire in real time. |
