About Me

I'll be spending a year at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore as a research assistant. I received my bachelor degree from Zhejiang A&F University in Jun. 2023, when I worked as a computer graphics research intern advised by Prof. Yuchi Huo at State Key Laboratory of CAD&CG, Zhejiang University. I also worked on rendering engine development at Tencent.
Hands on experience of computer graphics related research and modern rendering engine development.

Research Interest

Currently, my research interest mainly lies in Computer Graphics, specifically focusing on rendering.
My ultimate goal is to make rendering better, faster, stronger. There are multiple properties of the 3D world, appearance, materials and such.. To achieve my goal with the use of graphics knowledge and probably the help of neural networks.
Whatever it takes, Let's create a world more realistic than ever!

Publications and Preprints

FuseSR: Super Resolution for Real-time Rendering through Efficient Multi-resolution Fusion
Zhihua Zhong, Jingsen Zhu, Yuxin Dai, Chuankun Zheng, Guanlin Chen, Yuchi Huo, Rui Wang, Hujun Bao
SIGGRAPH Asia 2023

The workload of real-time rendering is steeply increasing as the demand for high resolution, overwhelming most graphics cards. We introduce an efficient and effective H-Net architecture to solve this problem.

A Biophysically-based Skin Model for Heterogeneous Volume Rendering
Qi Wang, Fujun Luan, Yuxin Dai, Yuchi Huo, Rui Wang, Hujun Bao
CVM(CVMJ) 2023

In this work, we present a novel heterogeneous biophysically-based volume rendering method for human skin that improves the realism of skin appearance while easily simulating various types of skin effects even skin diseases by modifying the biological coefficients textures.
