Spherical harmonics =========================== .. post:: June 28 2020 :author: Lenix Lobo :tags: google :category: gsoc Make sure to check out Project `FURY `_ Hey ! This week, Spherical harmonics! What did you do this week? -------------------------- The main task for the week was to include an implementation of spherical harmonics (upto the order of 4) as a FURY actor. This was the initial milestone to be achieved to work towards the support of using spherical harmonics as an visualization technique. I have added the GIFs for both the renders below. I also worked on a occlusion based lighting model. Spherical harmonics for different values of order and degree: .. image:: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lenixlobo/fury-outputs/master/blog-week-5a.gif .. image:: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lenixlobo/fury-outputs/master/blog-week-5b.gif What is coming up next week? ---------------------------- The next task to add support for the user to be able to render different spherical harmonics by passing arguments Did you get stuck anywhere? --------------------------- Spherical harmonics involve a lot of complicated math behind the hood. So the initial days were spent understanding the math .I was confused while working on the implementation but eventually got it working.
