Real-Time Parametric Shallow Wave Simulation

The simulation of ocean waves provides a significant challenge to computer graphics. Offline rendering yields phenomenal results, but the computational cost is high. See an implementation of a real-time shallow ocean wave simulation using Microsoft DirectX* 10. It produces a variety of wave shapes and allows real-time tuning of wave parameters.

Approximating Dynamic Global Illumination in Image Space

Providing realistic illumination at high frame rates is commonly achieved through approximations known as screen space ambient occlusion (SSAO). This paper discusses a related method called screen space directional occlusion (SSDO), which handles light angles better, includes at least one bounce of indirect light, works with global illumination, and requires only slightly more computational overhead.
