CALL FOR PAPERS
Aging and Weathering
- Special Section of Computers & Graphics -

cial-section-aging-weathering/>

Submission deadline: October 1, 2013
Guest Editors:
Stéphane Mérillou, Université de Limoges
Carles Bosch, Universitat de Girona
AIMS AND SCOPE:
Aging and weathering have been very active research fields for many years
now.
Due to the complexity and variety of materials change in appearance, such
topics are of interest for a very large part of the Computer Graphics
community. Aging and weathering phenomena often involve changes in
reflection properties, color, and geometry, simultaneously and over time.
Moreover, the characteristics of the surrounding environment, the shape of
the objects and their material properties influence all these processes.
Despite recent advances in simulation and reproduction techniques, there are
many challenges still worth pursuing in this area. New aging models are
required for reproducing specific effects, both at single and multiple
levels of detail. Furthermore, combining multiple effects and using advanced
contextual information are necessary to further enrich aging models. In
addition, dealing with large-scale scenes requires more efficient and
flexible approaches, providing more user control than that afforded in many
present-day techniques.
In this Special Section, we seek contributions spanning all aspects of aging
and weathering, ranging from modeling to rendering, as well as from theory
to practice.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* First-principle simulations for aging and weathering
* Procedural models
* Example-based and data-driven methods
* Image-based approaches
* Acquisition procedures and representation of time-varying data
* Real-time techniques
* Perceptual aspects of aging and weathering
* Applications
* Validation techniques

Section, please contact the Guest Editors.

Title: Movement Skills for Physics-based Characters: A Roadmap
Abstract: Physics-based character animation has a long history as a
promising method for modeling the motion of humans and animals. Tremendous
progress has been made in this area over the past twenty-five years.
However, much work still remains to be done before these methods can become
truly successful. Our best models for simulating motions (and controlling
robots) still fall well short of the agility, adaptability, and range of
skills seen in nature. What have we learned? What is the missing
ingredient? When might we realize "downloadable skills" for our simulated
characters, our robots, and perhaps our brains? I will present my own
roadmap of where we have been, the lessons learned, and where we may need to
go next.

Title: The Croods: Modern Technology for a Prehistoric World
Abstract: DreamWorks Animation produces family entertainment that is enjoyed
by audiences worldwide. It is a major consumer of technology, and employs a
skilled workforce of scientists and engineers working to advance the state
of the art in computer graphics for film production. In this talk we look at
some of the key technology behind our recent film The Croods (2013). The
movie follows the story of the world's first family as they embark on the
journey of a lifetime when the cave that has always shielded them from
danger is destroyed. Production for The Croods required many diverse
locations to represent the exotic world for this adventure, and an equally
diverse set of visual effects challenges: earthquakes and landslides,
liquids from tar to shallow seas, torches and wildfires, pyroclastic flow
and massive deforming volumes. We review how our technology for achieving
these effects have evolved rapidly over the last 3-4 years, showcase some of
the artistic achievements in this film, and lay out some of the technology
challenges we need to overcome in the future.
