Computer graphics systems are capable of generating stunningly realistic images of objects
that have never physically existed. In order for computers to create these accurately detailed …

The interaction between light and materials is key to physically-based realistic rendering.
However, it is also complex to analyze, especially when the materials contain a large …

State‐of‐the‐art car paint shows not only interesting and subtle angular dependency but
also significant spatial variation. Especially in sunlight these variations remain visible even …

Human stereo perception of glossy materials is substantially different from the perception of
diffuse surfaces: A single point on a diffuse object appears the same for both eyes, whereas …

Metallic car paints are visually complex materials that, among others effects, exhibit a view-
dependent metallic sparkling, which is particularly difficult to recreate in computer graphics …

Realistic virtual reality applications require highly-detailed geometry as well es convincing
surface representations. In many applications, especially in the automotive industry, the …

Humans recognize objects visually on the basis of material composition as well as shape.
To acquire a certain level of photorealism, it is necessary to analyze, how the materials …

Paint manufacturers strive to introduce unique visual effects to coatings in order to visually
communicate functional properties of products using value-added, customized design …

We propose a new method to generate images with a given color and texture, in order to
visualize the appearance of car paints. Unlike current methods, the new method is based on …

The surface texture of smooth materials, eg, polished woods or stones, etc., has an
appearance which exhibits material-specific behavior dependent on viewing and lighting …
