Our graphics software is also capable of simulating of physical effects that are still unc mainstream software, such as light polarisation and fluorescence. We have developed a 3D printing driver for PolyJetting printers, capable of accurate color reproduction. Furthermore, we maintain the Morphome3cs codebase, a unified software for biomedical resea tools for surface data acquisition, statistical shape analysis and result presentation. ****************************************************************************************** * Main Recent Projects ****************************************************************************************** - Adaptive sampling and Markov chain Monte Carlo methods in light transport simulation, 20 Science Foundation (GAČR, 16-18964S) - Efficient rendering of light polarisation effects in nontrivial scenes, 2016–2018, Czech Foundation (GAČR, 16-08111S) - DISTRO: Distributed 3D object design, 2015–2018, EU Horizon 2020 (ITN 642841) - Robust and Efficient Light Transport Simulation in Arbitrary Environments, 2013–2015, Cz Foundation (GAČR, P202-13-26189S) - HDRi: The digital capture, storage, transmission and display of real-world lighting, 201 Action IC1005) - CGI-for-Film: Controllable global illumination for film production, 2008–2011, EU FP7 (M 221716) ****************************************************************************************** * Are you interested in this expertise? ****************************************************************************************** Please contact CPPT UK Web: www.cppt.cuni.cz/ [ URL "https://cppt.cuni.cz/"] Mail: transfer@cuni.cz Phone: +420 224 491 255 ****************************************************************************************** * Experts and their Department ****************************************************************************************** Doc.
