They are compared with the results of Virtual Loom, an interactive application for rendering historical fabrics from the 15th to the 19th century, resulting from the European SilkNow project [PSA*18]. Yarns used on these fabrics has an special complexity due to a metallic cover that appears in some elements of the fabric. This new approach is based on rendering using Sphere Tracing. We will propose a signed distance function that allows both the visualization of a single yarn and a complete fabric in real time.Attribution 4.0 International LicenseCCS Concepts: Computing methodologies --> Ray tracingComputing methodologiesRay tracingInteractive Visualization of Historical Fabrics at Yarn Level using Sphere Tracing10.2312/ceig.2022114649-535 pages
