As functional 3D printing becomes more popular with industrial manufacturing applications,
it is time to start discussing high-fidelity appearance reproduction of 3D objects, particularly …

Following our success with physically based hair shading on Tangled [27], we began
considering physically based shading models for a broader range of materials. With the …

Photorealistic rendering of real world environments is important in a range of different areas;
including Visual Special effects, Interior/Exterior Modelling, Architectural Modelling, Cultural …

One of the key ingredients of any physically based rendering system is a detailed
specification characterizing the interaction of light and matter of all materials present in a …

We provide a new presentation of the masking-shadowing functions (or geometric
attenuation factors) in microfacet-based BRDFs and answer some common questions about …

Controlled capture of real‐world material appearance yields tabulated sets of highly realistic
reflectance data. In practice, however, its high memory footprint requires compressing into a …

Polarization has been used to solve a lot of computer vision tasks such as Shape from
Polarization (SfP). But existing methods suffer from ambiguity problems of polarization. To …

Realistic modeling of material appearance via the bidirectional reflectance distribution
function (BRDF) is an essential ingredient of physically-based light transport simulation. In …

In this article, we introduce a compact representation for measured BRDFs by leveraging
Neural Processes (NPs). Unlike prior methods that express those BRDFs as discrete high …

Adequate reflectance models are essential for the production of photorealistic images.
Microfacet reflectance models predict the appearance of a material at the macroscopic level …
