DescriptionThe Sculpting Vis Collaborative developed software we call Artifact-Based Rendering, used here to visualize data from the HiGrad/Firetec wildfire model at LANL. We depart from traditional visualization methods by using statistical sampling to produce multiple point sets that represent fire and smoke. An evolving point set is produced by continuously emitting particles from the fire hot-spot on the ground and allowing them to be carried by the wind interpolated through time. The instantaneous velocity of the wind is represented by path lines seeded at two levels on the up-wind face of the simulation space as well from the hot-spot on the ground. This results in several sets of points and of lines that exist in the same space, but which represent different aspects of the data. ABR enables us to use artist-made glyphs, lines and textures to differentiate between these different geometrical sets, helping the viewer to understand the complex structure of the data.
