Material reflectance definitions are core to high fidelity visual simulation of objects within a compelling 3D scene. In the automotive industry these are used across the entire business process: from conceptualisation of ...

The workflows and interfaces of commercial rendering software are currently designed for believable rendering purposes. However, for predictive rendering other approaches are needed; for example, the usual approach to ...

We propose discussing the performance of appearance modeling in terms of supported material and illumination gamut. While we have a precise understanding of the cost of any given appearance modeling method, performance is ...

The development of Bidirectional Texture Functions (BTFs) has made it possible for a wide range of different materials to acquire their characteristic appearance from a real-world counterpart and reproduce it faithfully ...
