Appearance modeling is an essential task in computer graphics for capturing and
reproducing rich appearance of real world materials under different lighting and viewing …

Bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) are pervasively used in computer
graphics to produce realistic physically-based appearance. Many common materials in the …

The unique and visually mesmerizing appearance of pearlescent materials has made them
an indispensable ingredient in a diverse array of applications including packaging …

We present a spectral measurement approach for the bulk optical properties of translucent
materials using only low-cost components. We focus on the translucent inks used in full …

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 …

Real-world materials are often layered: metallic paints, biological tissues, and many more.
Variation in the interface and volumetric scattering properties of the layers leads to a rich …

In this article, we propose SpongeCake: A layered BSDF model where each layer is a
volumetric scattering medium, defined using microflake or other phase functions. We omit …

We propose new methods for combining NDFs in microfacet theory, enabling a wider range
of surface statistics. The new BSDFs that follow allow for independent adjustment of …

Microfacet distributions are considered nowadays as a reference for physically plausible
BSDF representations. Many authors have focused on their physical and mathematical …

This paper proposes a lightweight bidirectional scattering distribution function (BSDF) model
for layered materials with anisotropic reflection and refraction properties. In our method …
