1 Blender in Research & Education 1

2 Overview The RWTH Aachen University The Research Projects Blender in Research Modeling and scripting Video editing Blender in Education Modeling Simulation Rendering 2

3 RWTH Aachen University Facts Founded 1870 About students About personal 410 professors Polytechnical University 11 Computer Science Institutes 3

4 The Head of department Prof. Dr. Leif Kobbelt Founded in 2000 Main topics Computer Graphics Multimedia Website 4

5 Research Topics Geometry Computer Vision and 3D Reconstruction Image- and Video-Processing Global Illumination Physical and Medical Simulation 5

6 Overview The RWTH Aachen University The Research Projects Blender in Research Modeling and scripting Video editing Blender in Education Modeling Simulation Rendering 6

7 Blender in Research Blender as a modelling tool Projects: Radio Wave Propagation Global Illumination Character Animation Modeling Modeling Video Editing Modeling Scripting Video Editing [1] Wave Propagation Using the Photon Path Map,, Leif Kobbelt, ACM PE-WASUN 2006, pp. 158 ff [2] Character Animation from 2D Pictures and 3D Motion Data, Alexander Hornung, Ellen Dekkers, Leif Kobbelt, ACM Transactions on Graphics (TOG), vol. 26(1),

8 Blender in Research Blender as a modeller Create scenarios for simulation or rendering For character animation: Rigging and vertex weight painting More complex modeling tasks Use proprietary software and algorithms Remeshing Mesh decimation Mesh repair (making it 2-manifold, filling holes) Using homegrown OpenMesh toolkit: 8

9 Blender in Research Radio Wave Propagation Modeling of wireless and GSM networks Blender: Geometry and material assignment Blender Scene model PhotonRT 3D intensity map 9

10 Blender in Research Blender as a video sequencer Supplemental material for conference submissions Done either completely in Blender Or captured with xvidcap and annotated in Blender 10

11 Blender in Research Blender scripting Easy to implement custom import filters Modified OFF import with extra data Import filter for Acclaim.asf skeleton files 11

12 Overview The RWTH Aachen University The Research Projects Blender in Research Modeling and scripting Video editing Blender in Education Modeling Simulation Rendering 12

13 Blender in Education Why Blender? Free (as in beer) Free (as in speech) Pros Promote usage of free software Choice and variety is always good Help students to get to know a complex 3D program for free Students have access to sourcecode 13

14 Modeling Student project for 9th grade school-intern Goal: Offer an interesting CG related task Problem: No sufficient math background for theoretical work Solution: Modeling a theater from blueprints! Ca. 2.8 million faces Textured and lit scene 14

15 Simulation Student project: Cloth simulation Plugin/patch for Blender Simulates cloth [1] Mass spring model Supports self collisions and collisions with objects Mixed explicit/implicit integration model For contact see our website and ask the students (Christian Ebke, Michael Kremer) [2] [1] Simulation of Clothing with Folds and Wrinkles, Bridson, Marino and Fedkiw, Symposium on Computer Animation 2003 [2] 15

21 Rendering 21

22 Rendering 22

23 Rendering Also supports lighting with environment maps (This image: HDR example lightprobe by Spheron Inc.) 23

24 Rendering 24

25 Conclusion What can education do for Blender? Enlarge user-base Enlarge visibility Enlarge group of possible contributors Enlarge importance in scientific community Advantages of Blender Free software (as in freedom) Free software (as in free beer) Scripting abilities Good and fairly easy to use video sequencer 25

26 Conclusion Disadvantages of Blender Extending the core of Blender with C/C++ difficult for newbies (complex and ancient code) Only basic mesh repair, decimation and remeshing capabilities Video sequencer could use some additional basic features (e.g. fade to black/white, instead of workaround) 26
