In this work, we introduce an extension to microfacet theory for the rendering of iridescent
effects caused by thin-films of varying thickness (such as oil, grease, alcohols, etc) on top of …

Colour produced by wavelength-dependent light scattering is a key component of visual
communication in nature and acts particularly strongly in visual signalling by structurally …

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 surface of metal, glass and plastic objects is often characterized by microscopic
scratches caused by manufacturing and/or wear. A closer look onto such scratches reveals …

The visual appearance of many materials is created by micro-scale details of their surface
geometry. In this article, we investigate a new approach to capturing the appearance of …

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 …

Tremendous effort has been extended by the computer graphics community to advance the
level of realism of material appearance reproduction by incorporating increasingly more …

We propose two novel contributions for measurement-based rendering of diffraction effects
in surface reflectance of planar homogeneous diffractive materials. As a general solution for …

The visual appearance of real‐world materials is characterized by surface features across
many scales and has received significant attention by the graphics community for decades …

Computing light reflection from rough surfaces is an important topic in computer graphics.
Reflection models developed based on geometric optics fail to capture wave effects such as …
