    Automatic Molecular Tour Creation: a Study
    (The Eurographics Association, 2023) Larroque, Vincent; Maria, Maxime; Mérillou, Stephane; Montes, Matthieu; Singh, Gurprit; Chu, Mengyu (Rachel)
    Molecular system visualization is a difficult task even for experts as molecules can contain millions of atoms. Our goal is to create a tool to improve the preliminary study of molecules by automatically creating a tour of the interesting viewpoints around them. Since we noticed limited research specific to molecular visualization, we analyzed and adapted methods from the general field. Our preliminary study shows that our molecular tour is able to smoothly present key information automatically.

    Radiance-Based Blender Add-On for Physically Accurate Rendering of Cultural Heritage
    (The Eurographics Association, 2023) Méndez, Míriam; Munoz-Pandiella, Imanol; Andujar, Carlos; Singh, Gurprit; Chu, Mengyu (Rachel)
    Despite the Cultural Heritage and Computer Graphics communities are increasingly joining forces to strengthen their collaboration, the study of how light interacts with monuments (e.g. weathering the surfaces or affecting the visitors' experience) is still an open problem in cultural heritage. A significant limitation is the lack of easy-to-use, open-source, physically-accurate tools allowing cultural heritage experts to perform lighting simulations on the increasing collection of 3D reconstructions. In this work, we present an open-source Blender add-on to facilitate such simulations. The add-on allows art historians to configure the properties (materials, lights, and camera) of the simulation, and uses as rendering back-end the Radiance software, a validated physically accurate light simulation tool. Our tool lowers the entry barrier for the use of a highly accurate but rather complex (command-based) tool for lighting studies in cultural heritage monuments.
