Abstract
A cage of primitive 3D elements and associated animation data is received. Compute a ray from a virtual camera through a pixel into the cage animated according to the animation data and compute a plurality of samples on the ray. Compute a transformation of the samples into a canonical cage. For each transformed sample, query a plurality of learnt radiance field parameterizations, each learnt on a different deformed state of the 3D scene to obtain color values for each learnt radiance field. For each transformed sample, query a learnt radiance field parameterization of the 3D scene to obtain an opacity value. Compute, for each transformed sample, a weighted combination of the color values, wherein the weights are related to the local features. A volume rendering method is applied to the weighted combinations of the color and the opacity values producing a pixel value.
