Bio:
SIGGRAPH 2010
Cem Yuksel is the founder of Cyber Radiance LLC and is receiving his Ph.D. from Texas A&M University in 2010. He designed and programmed Hair Farm, a leading hair software plugin for 3ds Max, used by various production studios and individual artists. His published research work on hair includes hair modeling with hair meshes, curve formulations, real-time hair shadows, real-time computation of multiple scattering in hair, and efficient global illumination techniques for hair. His other published graphics research includes methods like mesh colors for efficiently storing color data on arbitrary meshes and wave particles for real-time water simulation.
