Rendering with Style: Combining Traditional and Neural Approaches for High-Quality Face Rendering

by Martina Megaro | Nov 30, 2021 | Capture, Machine Learning, VFX

Rendering with Style: Combining Traditional and Neural Approaches for High-Quality Face Rendering   We propose to combine incomplete, high-quality renderings showing only facial skin with recent methods for neural rendering of faces, in order to automatically and...

Deep Compositional Denoising for High-quality Monte Carlo Rendering

by Martina Megaro | Jul 30, 2021 | Rendering, Visual Computing

Deep Compositional Denoising for High-quality Monte Carlo Rendering   We propose a deep-learning method for automatically decomposing noisy Monte Carlo renderings into components that kernel-predicting denoisers can denoise more effectively. June 29, 2021Eurographics...
