Okay, so this is
meeting 19. I
-
so I'm supposed to make A point
of taking attendance today,
-
because the department head has
had some reports of absenteeism.
-
So please do The attendance
done? Okay? I'm
-
so I wanted to talk a little bit
about the gasket from yesterday,
-
from last meeting, and I
-
so I it's about the bloat, as
David called it. So what I was
-
doing is taking a sphere or a
circle for and
-
it was centered here, oh,
-
moving the transforming it. I'm
transforming this point halfway
-
here. Do that? Do
-
attendance. Yes, please, make
sure you do the attendance. We
-
I just imagine those are all
symmetrical. So the idea is, in
-
the limit, if we apply a bunch
of transformations, we get a
-
little sphere. And
-
at the vertices of the triangle
and at all the places in between
-
and the sphere is so we don't
have to worry about the limit.
-
In the case of creating a
desktop tetrahedron, we want to
-
make something that looks nice
so you don't have to do Millions
-
of of spheres to get your
Desktop ornament and
-
does that seem okay? I
-
so I've added some to the
description for The desktop
-
tetrahedron assignment. So Start
with The image and
-
so I've made a link to The
Python code that I showed in
-
class. I
-
so this will produce a file that
can be included in the PBR key
-
input file and
-
so we just have the include
directive at the top of the
-
screen there and
-
so I recently discovered ew for
my I
-
for water billing, and the
leader is reporting. So now,
-
after I got a big bill, I've
been I've logged in and set up
-
alerts and things, and now it's
telling me that I'm using water
-
very substantially, and I'm
trying to figure out what the
-
problem is. Your meters are
-
not screwy. That may be part of
it. I
-
so you should take inspiration
from the original Image done in
-
1990 and feature a fractal
tetrahedron at some level of
-
resolution.
-
So in using non diffuse
materials, I
-
it, maybe gold or silver or
glass,
-
and put it onto a desktop
surface. Include more than one
-
light source, one of which is an
area light source. You may add
-
other objects on the desktop
surface to help demonstrate
-
shadows and other effects,
including indirect lighting and
-
So when you see
-
that, Sometimes called color
bleeding and
-
so here are Some examples
-
of the contribution of the of
the
-
surfaces that aren't emitters
themselves, but there's Some
-
energy coming off them so that
color bleeds between the
-
surfaces and
-
The final image should be high
resolution. So this, if it's if
-
it's square, it should be least
1024 by 1024 if it's not
-
squared, the smaller dimension
should be at least 1024 I
-
five so I want you to explore
the input options to generate a
-
high quality image. So consider
the samples per pixel and the
-
sampler that you choose Use the
stats option with pbrt and do
-
some analysis of the results
with Image tool diff, for
-
example. So which combination of
input parameter, input
-
directives, gives the Best
image, and why so document the
-
pbrt file and
-
does That make sense? I
-
i Sorry it took me a while to
find this.
-
So this may be a good place to
look as Well, for Inspiration, I
-
is that C, VO, K, I,
-
so have six marks for creating
the scene, recreating the
-
Desktop scene with the
tetrahedron ornament on the
-
desktop, three marks for
documentation and description of
-
what you've Done, and three
marks for writing it with
-
different combinations of
samples for pixels And samplers
-
and doing the analysis of which,
if
-
we which set of input directives
gives the Best image and
-
for the Advanced pbrt
assignment, or I
-
so this is a little bit more
detail, if It's helpful or not.
-
So pick a feature in pbrt
version four, see, for example,
-
changes from version three, when
they came so when they came up
-
in our class discussion, or you
may find inspiration in the
-
exercises from the Book labeled
with a two and explore its
-
impact. If
-
so maybe if you want to look at
-
some aspects of
-
the impact of focal length,
different parameters for dealing
-
with the realistic camera and
-
exposure of the film
-
could do Something with Animated
transformations. I
-
Does that seem okay?
-
Thanks, I'm just going to check
something. I
-
so let's talk About our quiz
from the
-
for today,
-
What's the best choice for post
days, no purple poor folks. Yes.
-
And pre Egg is sinless.
-
So pre and post. So when we're
talking about reconstructing an
-
image,
-
There are these two sources of
quality problems and
-
so What is no discrepancy.
Sadly, I
-
so with the example In the
textbook,
-
something like This, I
-
I know, I think, we're often
just thinking about the lower
-
corner. I
-
So based on this, if we have
four points and one of them is
-
in the box, we can estimate the
-
size is one quarter.
-
But if this is point Three and
point three and
-
Does that make sense? Does it
match with your Understanding
-
from the textbook Example? Do
-
it. So codi sampling is the idea
that we're trying to
-
take samples in a way that's
reflective of your underlying
-
structure.
-
So third question, what is the
last step in imagery
-
construction, put
-
the whole process in there for
anyone that was paying
-
attention.
-
I i
-
gave you our courses sometimes I
was I double checked that I had
-
deleted that I
-
so in this case, it's CS.
-
Yes, I
-
so what's the first step
-
Per PS, reconstruct, prefilter
sample? Okay. I
-
So does this make sense?
-
So the image isn't can only be
known by the samples that we
-
take of it and so
-
when we are
-
so that goes for when we're if
we're trying to estimate The
-
value of pi with a Monte Carlo
approach and
-
similarly, here we have so
-
the pixels as the samples of the
function, and we Need to make
-
that into
-
Our image. So we're going to
-
I'm still bummed out about
-
putting the answer in the
Question I
-
get over it. Does that make
sense? I
-
so not focusing On the caption
and
-
what do you think about The
quality of this filter applying
-
a box filter. It's not very
-
good. So there are a lot of
jagged inches here, not very
-
smooth. Okay, let's look at
Gaussian filter.
-
So This is blurrier. I think I
-
still, really, jagged.
-
So if we look at this area here,
and this area here,
-
it's a little smoother, I guess.
Yeah,
-
I think it's still not
-
good, smoother, I Guess.
-
Okay, so let's look at third
example and
-
would you say this one's better
or worse?
-
Second one, I think it
definitely works on the second
-
one. Colors are a little bit
clear. I
-
plus weakness in this
-
one. So let's look at this area
and
-
it seems to be a good mix of
blurring and sharpness, So not
-
everything is blurred. Let's
read
-
The Caption again.
-
So we can In looking at our
samplers, we
-
you We can look at these
filtering methods as well. I
-
so this is a box filter with a
step function and with a set
-
side you saw Ital curve and
-
so it doesn't do a very Good job
with a sign you saw, It'll
-
curve. I
-
so this is the Mitchell filter.
You can see it dips into
-
negative a little bit here, so
that helps to sharpen the image
-
And
-
so it does a Good job With Both
I
-
that's white noise, and This is
Blue noise. I
-
So
-
blue noise seems to lead to
better
-
images and
-
So this is two different
sampling patterns. One is
-
jittered sample,
-
jitter distribution, and the
other one is Poisson desk
-
distribution. So what do you
observe between the two of them?
-
Clustering? Yeah, there seems to
be more clumping in A than B. B
-
seems to Be more evenly
-
distributed. I
-
So next we'll look at reflection
models.
-
So we can develop reflection
models by measuring data.
-
So measure data, and then we can
also look at phenomenological
-
model, phenomenon,
-
biological models, we
-
equations that attempt to
describe the qualitative
-
properties of real world
surfaces can be remarkably
-
effective at mimicking them, and
then We can do simulation and
-
and then we can use wave optics,
so we have a detailed bottle of
-
light and
-
geometric optics. We've talked
about a bit. I so
-
we
-
don't encounter diffraction with
geometric optic models, so it's
-
A bit more straightforward and
-
so let's take a look at The
first two sections of chapter
-
nine for Thursday. We
-
any questions or concerns I
-
Okay, thank you for Today, and
we'll see You on Thursday. You
-
Thanks, you, too. You
-
do This work. I using fixation?
-
do This work. I using fixation?
