Title:Avatar Case Study: Accelerating Out-Of-Core Ray Tracing of Sparsely Sampled Occlusion with Pantaray
Speaker(s): Luca Fascione, Sebastian Sylwan , Weta Digital
Synopsis:
Modern VFX rendering pipelines are faced with major complexity challenges: a film like Avatar requires rendering hundreds of thousands of frames, each containing hundreds of millions or billions of polygons. Furthermore, the process of lighting requires many rendering iterations across all shots. In this talk, we present the architecture of an efficient out-of-core ray tracing system designed to make rendering precomputations of gigantic assets practical on GPUs. The system we describe, dubbed PantaRay, leverages the development of modern ray tracing algorithms for massively parallel GPU architectures and combines them with new out-of-core streaming and level of detail rendering techniques. |

Title：Stereoscopy From XY to Z
Speakers：Samuel Gateau, NVIDIA Corporation and Robert Neuman,Walt Disney Animation Studios
Synopsis:
Stereoscopy has been very well known since the beginning of the 19th century. The theory is very simple: just present a left view of a scene to the left eye, and a right view to the right eye, and the viewer's brain perceives a three-dimensional view. In 2010, stereoscopy is a common experience, in the latest blockbuster movies and in systems designed for viewing 3D at home. Although the theory is simple, realization of a comfortable and convincing stereoscopic experience implies many subtle considerations, both aesthetics and technical.
This course addresses those requirements in animation and real-time applications. It presents a comprehensive overview of the rendering techniques and explores artistic concepts to provide a solid understanding of stereoscopy and how to make it work most effectively for viewers. Topics include the standard stereo projection techniques, how stereo images are perceived by the viewer, creative ways to use stereo, and and how to fix the common issues encountered when stereo is added to a graphics pipeline.
