Abstract

This paper presents a new shading model for real-time rendering of plant leaves that reproduces all important attributes of a leaf and allows for a large number of leaves to be shaded. In particular, we use a physically based model for accurate subsurface scattering on the translucent side of directly lit leaves. For real-time rendering of this model, we formulate it as an image convolution process and express the result in an efficient directional basis that is fast to evaluate. We also propose a data acquisition method for leaves that uses off-the-shelf devices.
