Rendering
flows
We have developed several spectral synthesis methods for rendering
layered motion textures. These are based on motion parallax
constraints from the environment and on human vision
constraints. For example, we developed a dispersion
relation between wavelength and speed - namely that long wavelengths
tend to move faster - which arises from linear perspective constraints.
We have also recently begun to apply constraints from human
vision to simplify the method, and to render various types of flows
including fluids.
