One of the goals of the team is to develop new methods for light simulation. The image shows our Discrete Master Element technique applied to Michelangelo's David (dataset courtesy of Stanford Digital Michelangelo Project). Our DME technique makes it possible to run Finite Element methods on fine tesselated models. As can be seen in the picture, indirect lighting effects and color blends are accurately simulated.

This work was done in cooperation with Jean-Claude Paul.
