Title: High Image Quality, Interactive Rendering on Scalable Parallel Systems
Abstract: The objective of the ESPRIT Project 6173 Design by Simulation and Rendering on Parallel Architectures (DESIRE) is to develop and demonstrate key software components of a system for interactive design of complex industrial products or parts thereof by simulation and rendering on parallel architectures. The software components communicate using a unified format for the exchange of data and control information. They will be demonstrated in the context of a prototype system for interactive design and engineering of car bodies based on visual feedback through photorealistic rendering and through visualization of simulated external air flow. This feedback is essential for both aesthetic and physical design decisions. In this paper we primarily address the requirements for the rendering software component and outline our solution to meet these. Some preliminary results concerning the implementation are reported. To put the development into perspective, we also present an overview of the structure of the prototype interactive system to be developed in the project and of the general exchange format that is used for communication between the components of the system.
