Geoviewer3d: 3D Geographical Information Viewing
Ibero-American Symposium on Computer Graphics - SIACG (2006), pp. 1–4 P. Brunet, N. Correia, and G. Baranoski (Editors) GeoViewer3D: 3D Geographical Information Viewing Rafael Gaitán1, María Ten1, Javier Lluch1 y, Luis W. Sevilla2z 1Departamento de Sistemas Informáticos y Computación, Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, Camino de Vera s/n, 46022 2Consellería de Infraestructuras y Transporte, Avenida de Aragón Valencia, Spain Abstract Our State Government is developing a Geographical Information System (GIS), called gvSIG. This project follows the open source philosophy, and uses JAVA as development platform. Consequently, it is portable and can be used by anyone around the world. In this paper, we describe the design and architecture of a prototype for browsing 3D geospatial information. GeoViewer3D is a system that handles and displays worldwide satellite imagery in- cluding textures and elevation data. It has a modular architecture and an efﬁcient 3D rendering system based on OpenSceneGraph. The system incorporates a disk cache to improve access to GIS data. The goal of this prototype is to join the gvSIG project as 3D information viewer.

Stardust: Accessible and Transparent GPU Support for Information Visualization Rendering
Eurographics Conference on Visualization (EuroVis) 2017 Volume 36 (2017), Number 3 J. Heer, T. Ropinski and J. van Wijk (Guest Editors) Stardust: Accessible and Transparent GPU Support for Information Visualization Rendering Donghao Ren1, Bongshin Lee2, and Tobias Höllerer1 1University of California, Santa Barbara, United States 2Microsoft Research, Redmond, United States Abstract Web-based visualization libraries are in wide use, but performance bottlenecks occur when rendering, and especially animating, a large number of graphical marks. While GPU-based rendering can drastically improve performance, that paradigm has a steep learning curve, usually requiring expertise in the computer graphics pipeline and shader programming. In addition, the recent growth of virtual and augmented reality poses a challenge for supporting multiple display environments beyond regular canvases, such as a Head Mounted Display (HMD) and Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE). In this paper, we introduce a new web-based visualization library called Stardust, which provides a familiar API while leveraging GPU’s processing power. Stardust also enables developers to create both 2D and 3D visualizations for diverse display environments using a uniform API. To demonstrate Stardust’s expressiveness and portability, we present ﬁve example visualizations and a coding playground for four display environments. We also evaluate its performance by comparing it against the standard HTML5 Canvas, D3, and Vega. Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS):

Openscenegraph (OSG)—The Cross-Platform Open Source Scene
Project Report Student: Katerina Taskova 3-year PhD student International Postgraduate School Jozef Stefan Ljubljana, Slovenia This project was a SIMLAB student internship project financed by a scholarship of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) within the framework of the Stability Pact of Southern Eastern Europe funded by the German federal government. Period of the internship: 06.01.2009 - 29. 03.2009 Department: Computation in Engineering Faculty of Civil Engineering Technique University of Munich Advisor on the project: Dr. Martin Ruess Computation in Engineering Faculty of Civil Engineering Technique University of Munich Project description Idea The main idea was to incorporate user interactivity with simulation models during runtime in order to get an immediate response to model changes, a concept known as Computational Steering. This requires an implementation of a single-sided communication concept (with Massage Passing Interface, version MPI2) for the communication between simulation and visualization (two independently running processes with their own memory). Simulation The simulation process simulates the behavior of a real physical system. More specifically, it simulates the vibration (dynamic response) from a harmonic/periodic loading on thin plates. This process permanently produces results, scalar simulation data in sequential time steps, which are the input for the visualization process. Typically this calculation is numerical expensive and time-consuming. For this purpose was used a C++ implemented Finite-Element software package for dynamic simulation by Dr.Martin Ruess and it wasn’t a task for implementation in this project. Visualization The visualization process is the second independent process responsible exclusively for the visualization of the results generated with the thin plate vibration simulator.

Easy Facial Rigging and Animation Approaches
Pedro Tavares Barata Bastos EASY FACIAL RIGGING AND ANIMATION APPROACHES A dissertation in Computer Graphics and Human-Computer Interaction Presented to the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Digital Media Supervisor: Prof. Verónica Costa Orvalho April 2015 ii This work is financially supported by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) via grant SFRH/BD/69878/2010, by Fundo Social Europeu (FSE), by Ministério da Educação e Ciência (MEC), by Programa Operacional Potencial Humano (POPH), by the European Union (EU) and partially by the UT Austin | Portugal program. Abstract Digital artists working in character production pipelines need optimized facial animation solutions to more easily create appealing character facial expressions for off-line and real- time applications (e.g. films and videogames). But the complexity of facial animation has grown exponentially since it first emerged during the production of Toy Story (Pixar, 1995), due to the increasing demand of audiences for better quality character facial animation. Over the last 15 to 20 years, companies and artists developed various character facial animation techniques in terms of deformation and control, which represent a fragmented state of the art in character facial rigging. Facial rigging is the act of planning and building the mechanical and control structures to animate a character's face. These structures are the articulations built by riggers and used by animators to bring life to a character. Due to the increasing demand of audiences for better quality facial animation in films and videogames, rigging faces became a complex field of expertise within character production pipelines.

2D Animation Software You’Ll Ever Need
The 5 Types of Animation – A Beginner’s Guide What Is This Guide About? The purpose of this guide is to, well, guide you through the intricacies of becoming an animator. This guide is not about leaning how to animate, but only to breakdown the five different types (or genres) of animation available to you, and what you’ll need to start animating. Best software, best schools, and more. Styles covered: 1. Traditional animation 2. 2D Vector based animation 3. 3D computer animation 4. Motion graphics 5. Stop motion I hope that reading this will push you to take the first step in pursuing your dream of making animation. No more excuses. All you need to know is right here. Traditional Animator (2D, Cel, Hand Drawn) Traditional animation, sometimes referred to as cel animation, is one of the older forms of animation, in it the animator draws every frame to create the animation sequence. Just like they used to do in the old days of Disney. If you’ve ever had one of those flip-books when you were a kid, you’ll know what I mean. Sequential drawings screened quickly one after another create the illusion of movement. “There’s always room out there for the hand-drawn image. I personally like the imperfection of hand drawing as opposed to the slick look of computer animation.”Matt Groening About Traditional Animation In traditional animation, animators will draw images on a transparent piece of paper fitted on a peg using a colored pencil, one frame at the time. Animators will usually do test animations with very rough characters to see how many frames they would need to draw for the action to be properly perceived.
