Virtual Director
Virtual Director provides a user-friendly, virtual-reality method to control camera
motion for instant playback or animation recording. The Virtual Director shown in
VROOM is a camera motion-control application using the CAVE to control and play back
users' input in real time. Stored camera- motion data can be used to control various
computer-generated imagery cameras (e.g., Wavefront, AVS, Renderman, etc.). This
demonstration also includes an astronomical simulation of colliding galaxies that has been
fully rendered in batch mode with this kind of camera motion control in mind. The galactic
data were simulated using a supercomputer and visualized with Wavefront.
