Hamiltonian Two-Way Coupling of Nonlinear Waves and 3D Flows

A new water-simulation coupling scheme tackles one of graphics’ long-standing seam problems: mixing cheap 2D wave models with localized 3D fluid solvers. By using a nonlinear, dispersive Hamiltonian surface model, …

RefracGS: Novel View Synthesis Through Refractive Water Surfaces with 3D Gaussian Ray Tracing

RefracGS tackles a hard rendering problem: seeing through rippling water without the usual warping artifacts. The method separates the refractive surface from the scene below, then traces rays with Snell’s …
