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

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 …

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 …

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

Simulation of light reflection from specular surfaces is a core problem of computer graphics.
Existing solutions either make the approximation of providing only a large-area average …

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 …

We present a versatile technique to convert textures with tristimulus colors into the spectral
domain, allowing such content to be used in modern rendering systems. Our method is …

We present a Monte Carlo rendering framework for the physically-accurate simulation of
speckle patterns arising from volumetric scattering of coherent waves. These noise-like …

Physically accurate rendering often calls for taking the wave nature of light into
consideration. In computer graphics, this is done almost exclusively locally, ie on a …

Modern rendering techniques strive to convincingly reproduce a wide range of optical
phenomena. However, rendering effects that stem from the wave nature of light remains an …
