10. Scientific focus Modeling & Visualizing Nature Fascinating problem (vegetal, mineral, animal kingdoms) Many applications, from realism to real-time –3D feature films, Special effects, Video games –Virtual prototyping : geology, energy, cosmetics… –Pedagogical Simulators : environment, aeronautics, surgery…

11. Scientific focus Modeling & Visualizing Nature Extreme complexity N b of elements, shape, aspect, motion and deformation –Use knowledge form other disciplines –Specific methodology to combine efficiency and realism 1.New fundamental tools 2.Application to specific natural scenes

12. Contributions 1. New fundamental tools Geometry –New shape representations –Interactive deformations Animation –Motion control from video analysis –Physically-based simulation Visualization of massive data-sets –Multiresolution analysis & adaptive rendering Realistic rendering –Textures, shaders, point-based rendering

13. Contributions 2. Application to specific natural scenes Mineral world –Animation of lava-flows, sea, streams –Simulation of water, smoke, clouds Vegetal world –Real-time rendering of forest –Animating meadows (grass, trees) Animal world –Wild animals animated from video –Virtual humans: hair, skin, muscles, clothes –Real-time organs for surgery simulators

14. Virtual worlds: recent results Clothing from sketches [EG 2006, IEEE CGA, SGP 2007] with Brown & UBC Super-helices [SIGGRAPH 2006] Accurate dynamics of straight to curly hair Kamelelon with the Museum
