Abstract:
Realistic-looking rain and snow greatly enhance scenes of outdoor reality, with applications including computer games and motion pictures. We present a novel technique for realistically and efficiently rendering precipitation in scenes with moving camera positions. We map textures onto a double cone, and translate and elongate them using hardware texture transforms.
