We introduce and derive a general operator form for convolving spherical harmonics (SH) occlusion vectors with arbitrary 1D BRDF kernels. This operator, coupled with a compact linear model for predicting SH occlusion over articulating meshes, segments the BRDF and visibility terms of the direct illumination integral. We illustrate our results on a thin-membrane translucency model and the normalized Phong BRDF.10.2312/egs.20081035115-118
