Abstract
A virtual-reality computing device comprises a pose sensor, a rendering tool, and a display. The pose sensor is configured to measure a current pose of the virtual-reality computing device in a physical space. The rendering tool is configured to receive a holographic animation of a 3D model that includes a sequence of holographic image frames. The rendering tool is also configured to receive a render-baked dynamic lighting animation that includes a sequence of lighting image frames corresponding to the sequence of holographic image frames. The rendering tool also is configured to derive a 2D view of the 3D model with a virtual perspective based on the current pose and texture map a corresponding lighting image frame to the 2D view of the 3D model to generate a rendered image frame of the 2D view with texture-mapped lighting. The display is configured to visually present the rendered image frame.
