2009 Sci-Tech Oscars

摘要

The Scientific and Technical Awards, often called Sci-Tech Oscars, are in three levels: Technical Achievement Award (certificate), Scientific and Engineering Award (bronze tablet), and the Academy Award of Merit (Oscar statuette). Of the 15 awards this year, 12 center on tools for rendering, on-set motion capture, and digital intermediates. Per Christensen, Michael Bunnell, and Christophe Hery for the development of point-based rendering for indirect illumination and ambient occlusion. Much faster than previous raytraced methods, this computer graphics technique has enabled color-bleeding effects and realistic shadows for complex scenes in motion pictures.
