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

Stone is widespread in its use as a building material and artistic medium. One of its most
remarkable qualities is that it changes appearance as it interacts with the environment …

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 …

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 …

The outset of realistic rendering is a desire to reproduce the appearance of the real world.
Rendering techniques therefore operate at a scale corresponding to the size of objects that …

The outside appearance of cars is mostly defined through only two distinct materials–glass
and car paint. While glass can rather easily be simulated by the simple physical laws of …

We present the first physically-based interactive system to facilitate the appearance design
at different scales consistently, through manipulations of both small-scale geometry and …

Realistic renderings of materials with complex optical properties, such as goniochromatism
and non-diffuse reflection, are difficult to achieve. In the context of the print and packaging …

We present an approximate model for predicting the appearance of car paint from its paint
composition. Representing the appearance of car paint is not trivial because of its layered …

The use of pearlescent paints has grown significantly for many industrial products, due to
their special visual effect, which originates from optical interference between many small …
