Abstract(in English) A representation of shafts of light in CG(Computer Graphics) makes it possible to create high quality images with its beauty and reality. However, the previous methods to represent the shafts of light take huge calculation time, and are uneffective for stereoscopic viewing. Therefore it is difficult to use these method in interactive applications in 3-D virtual environments. In this research, we propose a new method to realize the shafts of light for interactive 3-D applications using stereoscopic images. In this method, the intensity distribution of the light is calculated into some texture images, and these images are mapped on the 3-D object which represents the shape of shafts of light. By using a texture mapping function of graphics hardware, the total performance is accelerated enough for interactive applications.
