Light transport simulation and rendering techniques form the backbone of modern computer graphics, enabling the creation of photorealistic images by accurately modelling the behaviour of light in ...

When I wanted to design a log home on my computer to see what it would look like under actual lighting conditions, I tried AutoCAD, 3D Studio Max and numerous off-the-shelf home design packages. None ...

How did the work with ZKW come about? Many of their OEM customers were requesting increasingly complex products, with new features and specifications. As safety-critical parts, developing these new ...

In recent years, LucidShape has improved its speed for optical simulation by using modern algorithms, multithreading, tessellation, distributed computing, and other methods. In recent years, ...

Physicists propose a new 'quantum simulator': a laser-based device that can be used to study a wide range of quantum systems. Studying it, the researchers have found that photons can behave like ...

Everything is more extreme on the moon. On top of temperatures that range from -300 F to +224 F, future astronauts and probes must deal with lighting conditions generously described as "harsh." To ...
