Unpublished projects
|
|

|
|
I have implemented a new
rendering model to capture the fine lighting effects of stalactites
and stalagmites. Satyan Coorg worked on creating the models
of the stalactites and stalagmites.
|
|
I captured the interference patterns formed by thin oil films/slicks
on water using Renderman. |
